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.

This course contains interactive questions throughout the video. These questions are optional and do not require a passing score to earn CME credit. To earn CME credit, participants must watch the full length of the recording and complete the course evaluation.
