ABC's of reading a chest X-ray
Hey everyone, here's a little ABC mnemonic that I use for reading a chest. It;s good help if you ever get grilled in clinical about reading an xray or for an osce station

(Note - before doing this, always first go through the initial steps. i.e. - patient name, date, view, rotation, # of ribs on inspiration, spinous processes visible)
A = Airway (midline, patent)
B = Bones (fractures, lytic lesions)
C = Cardiac Silhouette size (should be less than 50%)
D = Diaphragm (flat or elevated hemidiaphragm?)
E = Edges (borders) of heart
F = Fields (lung fields well inflated; no effusions, infiltrates, or nodules noted)
G = Gastric Bubble
H = Hilum (nodes, masses)
I = Instrumentation
New Resources!
Hey fellow RIGer's,
Just wanted to share some more of the online resources I found.
Check out the new links to the CAR, RSNA and MIRC teaching file on the "Internet Resources" tab above.
I have also received quite a few requests for notes and the powerpoints from the lecture series. Dave (EMIG) and I are currently compiling our notes and the presentations from our presenters and will have them all posted here as we received them. Thanks for all the great feedback!
