s5Preface
We have written Pocket Tutor Chest X-Ray Interpretation in a concise fashion to help the reader develop a good basic understanding of how to interpret the chest radiograph. A step-by-step approach is essential to this, and so this book presents a systematic method in order to avoid mistakes. It also highlights a number of pitfalls to watch out for when interpreting chest radiographs.
The opening chapter explains the basic concepts of chest radiology, including some elementary physics. Chapters two and three then present the building blocks for understanding normal and abnormal chest radiology, respectively. The remaining chapters concisely describe common clinical disorders for which chest radiology is an important investigative tool. These include brief clinical scenarios together with labelled chest Xrays to inform the reader. Another key feature of the book is the Clinical Insight and Guiding Principle boxes which draw upon our collective personal experience.
This book is not exhaustive, but we hope that it is comprehensive in covering the main conditions that can affect the chest radiograph. We hope you will enjoy reading it, that it will serve as a handy companion for quick reference and that the knowledge you gain will help guide you in the management of your patients.
