The chest radiograph is a foundational modality in thoracic imaging that remains one of the most frequently ordered diagnostic studies. It serves an important function in multiple healthcare settings – in emergency departments, intensive care units, outpatient clinics –and in the diagnosis and monitoring of oncologic disease. The effective interpretation of chest radiographs requires experience and a knowledge of radiographic anatomy, imaging signs of disease, and important pitfalls to avoid. This session will feature three case-based lectures presented by experienced thoracic radiologists whose teaching skills will be focused on giving learners an expanded appreciation and skill in the interpretation of chest radiographs.
