Overview

The midclavicular line (or midclavicular plane) is a vertical line crossing through the clavicle.

Clinical significance

It is useful for evaluating hepatomegaly and identifying heart sounds, as well as finding the gallbladder. (The gallbladder is at the intersection of the midclavicular line and the transpyloric plane.)
