Radiological imaging is now accessible to a wide range of
healthcare workers, many of whom are increasingly taking on
extended roles. This book 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 book 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 From reviews:
'Interpreting Chest X-Rays is highly recommended for anyone wishing
to acquire a basic yet relatively comprehensive approach to the
chest radiograph. The book is affordable, and is particularly
suited for trainees, including pulmonary medicine fellows, medical
students on a radiology rotation, physicians' assistant students or
nursing students on a critical care or pulmonary rotation, and
first-year radiology residents on a thoracic radiology rotation.
Dr. Stephen Ellis makes the difficult seem easy, with his
instructive teaching style and helpful approach to the surprisingly
difficult topic of chest radiography interpretation.' Clinical
Pulmonary Medicine, November 2010 'Interpreting Chest X-Rays is an
excellent, simple book...[it] is reasonably priced and would be
recommended to all healthcare professionals who are involved with
the interpretation of plain chest radiographs.' RAD Magazine,
December 2010 'Interpreting Chest X-Rays was a delight to read and
review. It is a concise text that covers the basics of chest
radiography. This book would be perfect for the medical student,
allied health care worker, or general physician.' American Journal
of Roentgenology, May 2011
