The chest X-ray (CXR) or chest radiograph remains the most commonly
ordered imaging study in medicine, yet paradoxically is often the
most complex to learn, recall, and master effective and accurate
interpretation. The chest radiograph includes all thoracic anatomy
and provides a high yield, given the low cost and single source.
This guide presents a structured lexicon for use by readers to
reproducibly describe radiographic abnormalities of the chest
detected on plain film CXRs. The lexicon is designed to provide
readers with clinically significant differentiation of
abnormalities detected. The content is structured to relate
specific combinations of distinct radiographic findings to
classes/groupings of pathological etiologies of those findings.
Recognizing the individual findings and identifying their
combination or lack of combination with other individual findings
allows readers to create effective differential diagnoses that can
then be further evaluated using other imaging procedures and/or
non-radiographic clinical information. The book includes hundreds
of images, including radiographs, CTs, graphics, and analogous
models to help teach otherwise complex processes and radiographic
principles.
