The WHO manual of diagnostic imaging: radiographic anatomy and interpretation of the chest and the pulmonary system

Overview

The following text aims to provide an aid to the interpretation of the chest radiograph (CXR). This is not a comprehensive account of all possible chest diseases but a descriptive text to help identify the way in which chest pathology is manifested and diagnosed on CXR. The initial chapters deal with interpretive skills and pattern recognition and the later chapters demonstrate specific pathologies.
