Plain chest x-ray

Chest

Given the frequency with which radiology is used to investigate chest pathology, the topic has been split into two talks. The first covers an approach to reading a chest x-ray, then progresses to the normal chest CT and then discusses a variety of pathological appearances, before moving on to the appearance of specific clinical conditions.

The second talk continues the clinical perspective and shows how the pathological appearances come together in conditions such as heart failure and lobar collapse, and ends with a guide to differentiating the causes of masses on the chest film.

These talks provide a solid introduction to radiology of the chest and are complemented by more specific talks on the cardiovascular system and chest pain and trauma.
