DESCRIZIONE

Chest X-Ray in Clinical Practice brings a deeper understanding of chest x-rays to the forefront, enabling doctors to make confident and accurate diagnoses across a range of medical situations. The principles and practice of acquisition of the chest X-ray are discussed, raising awareness of technical factors that may limit the extent of interpretation, to ensure that doctors-in-training take every precaution in avoiding the common ‘pitfalls’ of misinterpretation. The chest radiograph is a very commonly requested examination and it is probably the hardest plain film to interpret correctly. Accurate interpretation can greatly influence patient management in the acute setting. It is, however, often performed out of hours with interpretation undertaken by relatively junior members of staff, frequently with no senior radiological advice available.Table of contents Radiographic principals of the Chest X-ray and positioning.- The normal Chest X-ray and approach to interpretation.- Mediastinum and Hilar Regions.- Basic patterns of lung disease- a) Consolidation b) Collapse c) Lines change d) Nodules e) Rings and holes.- Pleura a) Effusion b) Pleural thickening c) Pneumothorax.- Soft Tissues and bones.- Foreign structures and other devices on CXRs.- Computed Tomography: Technical information.- Computed Tomography: Clinical Indications.
