A small pocketbook that helps the junior doctor in the interpretation of chest X-rays. 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 possible differential diagnosis. The book covers the range of common radiological problems that junior doctors are faced with starting with the appearance on film, e.g. showing generalised shadowing or a coin lesion. It gives advice on how to examine an X-ray and 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.
