520			_aTranslated into over a dozen languages, this book has been widely praised for making interpretation of the chest X-ray as simple as possible. It describes the range of conditions likely to be encountered on the wards and guides the doctor through the process of examining and interpreting the film based on the appearance of the abnormality shown. It then assists the doctor in determining the nature of the abnormality and points the clinician towards a possible differential diagnosis. It covers the common radiological problems the junior doctors are faced with starting with the appearance of the film, e.g. showing generalised shadowing or a coin lesion. It gives advice on how to examine an X-ray, how to check its technical quality and how to identify where the lesion is. All the X-rays are accompanied by a simple line diagram outlining where the abnormality is. Covers the full range of common radiological problems. Includes valuable advice on how to examine an X-ray. Assists the doctor in determining the nature of the abnormality. Points the clinician towards a possible differential diagnosis. Now presented in two-colour to enhance the appearance of the text. New material includes an introduction to thoracic CT scanning indicating the usefulness of these scans where appropriate. _bCommon terms and phrases: able abnormalities affected airway aorta aortic appear ARDS atrial bilateral blood vessels bone bronchi bronchiectasis calcification cardiac cause cavitating changes Chapter Check chest wall chest X-ray clinical collapse common Compare consolidation contrast CT scan dense density detect diagnosis diameter diaphragm difficult dilatation disease distribution edge example failure fibrosis finding fissure fluid fractures give heart border heart shadow hilar enlargement hilum HRCT identify important increased Infection interpretation lateral film left ventricular lesion less lies Look carefully loss lower lobe lung fields lymph nodes malignant markings mass mediastinal mediastinum middle miliary mitral nodules normal Note occur patient periphery pleural effusion Pleural plaques pneumonia pneumothorax position possible posterior presence pulmonary arteries radiologist Remember ribs seen shadowing shape shifted shows side signs slice soft tissue sometimes structures suggests suspect taken thickening trachea tumour upper lobe usually ventilation visible volume
