1. BASIC INTERPRETATION OF CHEST X RAY

2. INTRODUCTION

3. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

4. RELATIVE DENSITIES

5. BEFORE INTEREPTING CHEST RADIOGRAPH

6. VIEWS OF CHEST RADIOGRAPH

7. PA VIEW

8. AP VIEW

9. LATERAL VIEW

10. LATERAL DECUBITUS POSITION

11. ERECT “BETTE R ” THAN SUPINE PLEURAL FLUID “MOVES” TO BASES GASTRIC AIR - FLUID LEVEL PLEURAL AI R “ RISES ” TO APEX

12. ERECT NORMA L PULMONAR Y BLOO D DISTRIBUTION

13. PLEURA L AI R GRAVITATES SUPERIORLY PLEURAL F L UI D GRAVITATES INFERIORLY SUPINE MAY DISPERSE FLUID (EFFUSIONS) / HID E AIR (PNEUMOTHO R AX)

14. SUPINE PULMONARY VESSELS MAY FALSELY APPEAR CONGESTED
