The chest radiograph is a very commonly requested examination and 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.

Therefore, the core information in this book is based upon a series of talks given to Junior Doctors by the authors. These provide a logical framework for the initial assessment of the chest X-ray and thus enable a proper diagnosis to be made, with advice in how to offer the correct management of patients. This structured approach is greatly appreciated by these individuals as they feel it helps compensate for their lack of applied knowledge. It is important however to get the tone right, as often books on interpretation tend to be either aimed below or above the level that such doctors need.

From the Back Cover

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 âpitfallsâ 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. Chest X-Ray in Clinical Practice concentrates on conditions commonly diagnosed in an acute setting, with special attention drawn to those areas of the image that are often overlooked. Whilst the main focus is upon the plain film, the increasing use of CT is recognised. Providing content in a user friendly, logical structure and layout, this book gives the reader a reliable framework for chest x-ray interpretation. With 130 high quality annotated digital images, which assist reader to recognise common and important abnormalities, Chest X-Ray in Clinical Practice also provides key learning points in each chapter, consolidating the readerâs understanding, and consequently acting as a quick reference tool for all junior doctors.
