Learning objectives   To identify the most significant technical issues that may cause false-positive diagnoses. To develop an approach to reading pediatric chest x-ray images. To familiarize the reader with the normal structures and the commonly encountered variants.
Read more Background Chest X-ray (CXR) is the most frequently ordered radiological investigation in pediatric health facilities for an extensive range of indications; therefore, it is crucial for both the radiology and pediatric residents to acquire proficiency in interpreting pediatric chest x-rays following a comprehensive approach.
Read more Findings and procedure details Firstly, the importance of recognizing the impact of suboptimal technical factors (such as poor inspiration and rotation) in degrading the quality of the chest x-ray is illustrated, and how it may lead to misinterpretations. Then, an explanation of how to interpret a normal pediatric chest x-ray, comprising an analysis of ten structures, is demonstrated. Finally, an exhibit of the common variants and the unconventional appearance of normal structures on a pediatric chest x-ray are emphasized, which is especially relevant for...
Read more Conclusion Developing a systematic approach for the interpretation of pediatric chest x-rays is a fundamental milestone for the professional growth of Pediatric and Radiology residents.
