Chest X-ray

The main regions where a chest X-ray may identify problems may be summarized as ABCDEF by their first letters:

• Airways, including hilar adenopathy or enlargement
• Breast shadows
• Bones, e.g. rib fractures and lytic bone lesions
• Cardiac silhoutte, detecting cardiac enlargement
• Costophrenic angles, including pleural effusions
• Diaphragm, e.g. evidence of free air
• Edges, e.g. apices for fibrosis, pneumothorax, pleural thickening or plaques
• Extrathoracic tissues
• Fields (lung parenchyma), being evidence of alveolar filling
• Failure, e.g. alveolar air space disease with prominent vascularity with or without pleural effusions
