On thescreen, this dark shadow shows no marked contrast between this case and the preceding givesinformation of practical value. These indications, diagnostic of one or the other of thevalvular lesions of the aorta, may be equally instructivein the diagnosis of associated lesions (Fig. 80). Theypermit of the determination of the signaletic state of theaorta which is, in this case, usually altered. They willbe studied in more detail in one of the following chapters(see Aortitis, Chap. VIII). CHAPTER V CONGENITAL AFFECTIONS OF THE HEART RADIOLOGY plays a more or less important part inthe diagnosis of congenital lesions of the heart. Thisdiagnosis is ordinarily easily made when it is a questionof the most common lesion, that is, stenosis of the pul-monary artery with inter-ventricular perforation; it ison the contrary ve
