On the supine radiograph, an inverted "V" may be seen over the pelvis in a patient with pneumoperitoneum. While in infants this is produced by the umbilical arteries, in adults it appears to be created by the inferior epigastric vessels.

Chilaiditi's sign, caused by interposition of the colon between the liver and the diaphragm. This interposition is usually asymptomatic and does not require surgical treatment.
it shows gas under right diaphragm above the liver on Xray.
