The Medical Student's Guide to the Plain Chest Film (2008)
By Edwin Donnelly
"The true secret to understanding these films is that it is not always as difficult as some would have you believe. Many of the more difficult and confusing diagnoses can wait for the radiologists. You do not need to worry about the subtle differences in findings between different chronic interstitial diseases. These cases can wait for the
Radiologist. In addition, if you miss a solitary pulmonary nodule and it is not seen until the next morning by the Radiologist, then there really has been no harm done to the patient. Many of the more subtle findings, although extremely important, are not as time sensitive as those affecting an acutely ill patient. Nevertheless, as you practice looking at these studies your skills will improve and you may find yourself making findings that even the Radiologist misses.
The goal of this guide, therefore, is to attempt to simplify the process of looking at and interpreting chest films. I will ignore some of the subtle details in the interest of compacting the information into an easily-digested format. In addition, I will focus primarily on those findings which you may encounter at night, when a Radiologist may not be available to you, and on those findings which are particularly timesensitive. In an effort to make some of the concepts easier to understand, I have included images from CT scans." ----- Edwin Donnelly, The Author
This book is designed to provide the medical student a simple yet systemized approach to interpreting the plain chest radiograph. The book teaches the normal anatomy as well as a systematic approach that can (and should) be used to evaluate every chest film. Full-color volume-rendered computed tomography (CT) images are used to help the student understand the anatomy.
