The chest x-ray is the most frequently requested radiologic examination.

In fact every radiologst should be an expert in chest film reading.

The interpretation of a chest film requires the understanding of basic principles.

In this app we will focus on:

How to Read a Chest X-ray – A Step By Step Approach

Normal anatomy and variants.

Systematic approach to the chest film using an inside-out approach.

Pathology of the heart, mediastinum, lungs and pleura.

This app is an attempt to give the reader guidance how to read a chest Xray and below are two methods. There is no perfect way to read an x-ray. However, the important message I would like to give is, to adopt one or the other approach, and to use the chosen approach consistently.

Radiological imaging is now accessible to a wide range of healthcare workers, many of whom are increasingly taking on extended roles. This app will equip all healthcare professionals, including medical students, chest physicians, radiographers and radiologists, with the techniques and knowledge required to interpret plain chest radiographs.

It is not an exhaustive text, but concentrates on interpretive skills and pattern recognition – these help the reader to understand the pitfalls and spot the clues that will allow them to correctly interpret the chest X-rays they will encounter in their daily practice.

The app features over 300 high quality images, along with a range of case story images designed to enable readers to test and develop their interpretation skills.

Interpreting Chest X-Rays is a handy ready reference that will help you to avoid making errors interpreting chest X-rays and decide, for example:

* if a temporary pacing wire has been inserted correctly

* whether the shadows you can see are real abnormalities

* if all chest tubes and lines are located appropriately in an ITU patient

* what further imaging may assist interpretation of an apparent abnormality

* whether a post-surgical chest is significantly abnormal

* what organism might be causing an infection

* why a patient is short of breath

* whether patient positioning accounts for an abnormal appearance on a chest X-ray

* what impact radiographic technique has had on the appearance of pathology

Chest X-rays for Medical Students is a unique teaching and learning resource that offers students, junior doctors, trainee radiologists, nurses, physiotherapists and nurse practitioners a basic understanding of the principles of chest radiology.

Provides a memorable way to analyze and present chest radiographs

Explains how to recognize basic radiological signs, pathology and patterns associated with common medical conditions as seen on plain PA and AP chest radiographs

Presents each radiograph twice, side by side - once as would be seen in a clinical setting and again with the pathology clearly highlighted

Includes a section of self-assessment and presentation exercises to test knowledge and presentation technique

Ideal for study and clinical reference, this app will be the ideal companion for any medical student, junior doctor or trainee radiographer.

Interpreting chest X-rays can seem baffling and intimidating for senior medical students and newly qualified doctors. This highly illustrated guide provides the ideal introduction to chest radiology. It uses 100 clinical cases to illuminate a wide range of common medical conditions, each illustrated with a chest X-ray and a clear description of the significant diagnostic features and their clinical relevance. Where appropriate CT scans and bronchoscopic imaging are also included as part of the investigation. Pulmonary medicine is largely based on a strong foundation on the plain chest radiograph. Indeed chest radiography is the single most common investigation done in hospital practice. This illustrated collection of case studies will help make the learning process easier and more enjoyable and less painful.
