How I Read a Lateral CXR

Hi everybody. In this video, I show you how I look at a lateral CXR. I'm not going to do an exhaustive inventory of the anatomy in this video, but stay tuned for that in the future.
Textbooks I like for chest radiology-
Med students and all residents: Felson’s Principles of Chest Roentgenology
amzn.to/3FhBkvN
Radiology residents: Thoracic Imaging: Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Radiology
amzn.to/2YqzLLh
Thoracic radiology fellows: Muller’s Imaging of the Chest: Expert Radiology Series

Lateral CXRs are so hard. I feel that reading radiographs well is a lost art since we have so much cross-sectional imaging now. The hila are particularly challenging. Thanks for the review!!

[@shivarajtimsina8873]

Simple and easy to understand, thank you

Wow. This video was amazing. I didn't realize how much info I was missing out on! Reading lateral views was like trying to read Sanskrit before this video. Well done!

[@ThoracicRadiology]

Glad it was helpful!

Super thank you

Good evening, sir.
Excellent and very simplified way of explaination.
Because of English titles, we from non-American countries can follow the accents fully.
Lastly, very Liberal and judicious use of various colour markers - so we understand which area you are talking about.
So kindly if possible always incorporate English subtitles and liberal coloured markings.
Thank you, sir.

Sir can we have one more clip in which u have few cases of opacities to differentiate them by lateral chest radiograph wether they are in upper lobe or middle or lower....thanks

[@shahedhamdan4002]

This is amazing video thank you
Can you do a video about how to read abdominal Xray please ?

[@ThoracicRadiology]

Hi Shahed, I'm a chest radiologist. I don't read too many abdominal films.

[@diwas6958]

nice.

[@tayonalungs]

Hi great work as always. Im having problems in looking at pleural effusion in the lateral view can you give me a good reference for that

[@ThoracicRadiology]

here's a good article from radiographics: pubs.rsna.org/doi/full/10.1148/rg.271065073

[@societyseven777]

If you see a right hilar lymphnode conglomerate of 13×21 mm and sarcoidosis is ruled out, would you then look at some type of lymphoma?

[@ThoracicRadiology]

Yes, I would consider lymphoma and other cancers and infections.

[@madijafari]

excuse me how did you recognize the left and right pulmonary arteries, I usually don't understand which one is left and which one is right
thank a lot! ❤

[@ThoracicRadiology]

The right is directly anterior to the left upper lobe bronchus and the left arches over the bronchus on the lateral view.

[@cluelessclive5469]

You forgot the lungs but great video though.

[@carolterracruz224]

Excuse, me! I would like to know if I could translate for portuguese and name you for my classmates.

[@ThoracicRadiology]

Hi, yes go ahead. Do you need my help?
