Thoracic radiography is an essential tool in the investigation of both thoracic and systemic disease. […] Despite the fact that radiography is easy to perform, careful technique is required to ensure that high-quality films are obtained. Poor technique is a common reason for misdiagnosis. The first part of this chapter outlines the methods that should be used to obtain thoracic films and special techniques to enhance their diagnostic yield. […] The second part of this chapter introduces some of the basic principles of thoracic radiology that apply to all anatomical regions. The following topics are discussed: Restraint and patient preparation; Technique; Digital radiography; Contrast radiography; Fluoroscopy; Systemic evaluation of the thoracic radiograph; Variations in radiographic anatomy; Essential principles of interpretation.
