Indirect signs on a chest X-ray that might be seen in PE include: Hampton's hump: A peripheral, wedge-shaped opacity in the lung, often seen at the lung periphery and may indicate pulmonary infarction. Westermark's sign: Regional oligemia (reduced blood flow) in the lungs, characterized by areas of increased lucency. Fleischner sign: Enlargement of the central pulmonary artery, often seen with a large clot in the pulmonary artery. Knuckle sign: A sudden tapering of the pulmonary artery, suggesting a clot in the artery. Palla sign: Enlargement of the right descending pulmonary artery. Atelectasis: Collapse of lung tissue, often seen in areas of infarction. Pleural effusion: Fluid accumulation in the space between the lungs and chest wall. Prominent central pulmonary artery: Fleischner's sign is an enlarged central pulmonary artery.
