Introduction
CXR: 1) Adult
2)Childeren
 Reading → Pathologic Finding → Diagnosis
 Every doctor will have a different approach to reading
chest X-rays
CXR: 1) TRUMA → ATLS → ABCDEFG
2) Internal Medicine
Chest radiographs are read « concentrically » from
the periphery towards the center

Position
 Special position for special purpose
- PA : Anatomy reading
- AP view
- AP supine : Ambulatory limit
- Lateral (Lt/Rt)
- Lateral decubitus : Effusion or thickening
- Lordotic : Apical lesion
- Oblique :
helpful localize lesions and eliminate superimposed structures
Right anterior oblique for left side lesion

Technical quality
 Well centered: (Rotation?)
- Spinous process of T4 should be between the heads of the clavicle
 Exposure (penetration):
- It is affected by both the duration of exposure and the power of the beam
 Good expose: You will be able to see the thoracic vertebrae
 Over expose film looks diffusely dark and features such as lung markings
are poorly seen
 Under (poorly) expose film looks diffusely light (an x-ray is a negative)
and soft tissue structures are readily obscured (especially those behind the
heart)
 Full inspiration

If you see nothing abnormal on the x-ray, and yet clinical
examination or history suggests otherwise, what do you do?
Before taking an x-ray off the monitor
you must say:
AH HA !!!

With your eyes, you define the 4 following target zones
The first target is: the retroclavicular zone
(foci of pulmonary tuberculosis, lung neoplasms, Pancoast’s tumour)
Right retro clavicular opacity
The second target is : the hilum
(density, size, abnormal opacity, lymph nodes)
Dermoid cyst (hilum overlay sign)
Bilateral hilar and mediastinal enlargement
The third target is: the retrocardiac region
(bronchopneumonia, atelectasis, neoplasm)
Bronchopneumonia in the posterior and lateral basal segments of the
LLL
Large hiatus hernia
The fourth target is: the subdiaphragmatic zone
(abdominal and abdomino-thoracic diseases)

Apical pleural cap
• An apical pleural cap refers to a curved density at lung apex
seen on chest radiograph
• It has relatively narrow differential diagnosis:
 Pleural thickening / scarring
secondary to previous apical infection - typically pulmonary tuberculosis
radiation fibrosis
may be present in upto 10% of radiographs
 Pancoast tumour
 Haematoma
thoracic aortic injury
fractured first rib
 Lymphoma : extending from neck or mediastinum
 Abscess within the neck / mediastinum

 Greater than 50% suggests cardiac enlargement (usually CHF or
pericardial effusion)
 Remember: AP views make heart appear larger than it actually is Cardiac margins
should be sharp
Widened mediastinum
• Widening of the mediastinum is most often due to technical
factors such as patient positioning or the projection used.
Rotation, incomplete inspiration, or an AP view, may all
exaggerate the width of the mediastinum, as well as heart
size
• In the setting of trauma, patients are positioned supine
while a chest x-ray is acquired, very often causing the
mediastinum to appear wide spuriously
• Is a mediastinum with a measured width greater than 6 cm
on an upright PA chest X-ray or 8 cm on supine AP chest
film(at the level of the aortic knob on the best film)
• Use of cross-sections from CT and MRI will supplement
this section
4- Lines and stripes:
Para tracheal /Para spinal/Para esophageal(azygo esophageal)/Para aortic
 Lines typically measure less than 1 mm in width and are
formed by air, typically within the lung, outlining thin
intervening tissue on both sides
Lines present on chest radiographs include the anterior and
posterior junction lines
 Stripes are thicker lines formed by air outlining thicker
intervening soft tissue
Stripes are seen on chest radiographs including:
L&R paratracheal stripes
posterior tracheal stripe

Soft Tissues
Soft tissue:
• Look for subcutaneous emphysema (suggestive of trauma)
• Soft tissue swelling
• Axillary line
• Calcification
• Foreign body
• Breasts shadow
F = Fracture
Bones
cxr series.pdf
Skeletal structures
Overall size, shape, contour of each bone:
- Density( mineralization)
- Compare cortical thickness to medullary cavity, trabecular pattern
- Erosions, fractures, any lytic or blastic regions
Joints:
- Articular relationships
- Joint spaces narrowed, widened
- Calcification in the cartilages
- Air in the joint space, abnormal fat pads
 Note calcified anterior cartilages may obscure or mimic
underlying lung lesions
 Compare side to side

  • 73. Widened mediastinum • Widening of the mediastinum is most often due to technical factors such as patient positioning or the projection used. Rotation, incomplete inspiration, or an AP view, may all exaggerate the width of the mediastinum, as well as heart size • In the setting of trauma, patients are positioned supine while a chest x-ray is acquired, very often causing the mediastinum to appear wide spuriously • Is a mediastinum with a measured width greater than 6 cm on an upright PA chest X-ray or 8 cm on supine AP chest film(at the level of the aortic knob on the best film) • Use of cross-sections from CT and MRI will supplement this section
