About this title

Synopsis

A new edition in the highly successful Made Easy 'series', this is a small pocketbook that will help the junior doctor in the interpretation of the chest X-ray. 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 the junior doctors are faced with, starting with the appearance of the film, e.g. showing generalised shadowing or a coin lesion. It gives advice on how to examine an X-ray, 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.

Explains the interpretation of the chest radiograph at a suitable level.

Covers the problems associated with poor quality X-rays.

A line diagram outlines the abnormality.
