Making Sense of the Chest X-ray: A Hands-on Guide

Accurate interpretation and understanding of the chest x-ray is therefore a crucial skill that all medical students and junior doctors must acquire to formulate quickly an appropriate management plan - and Making Sense of the Chest X-ray is here to help.

When a patient presents to the emergency department, in the GP practice, or in the outpatient clinic with a range of clinical signs, the chest x-ray is one of the most valuable diagnostic tools available to the attending physician.

The second edition of this well-received pocket guide remains the perfect introduction to the subject. Written from a problem-oriented approach, the author shares his extensive experience of teaching this subject, with ""real life"" scenarios interspersed throughout the text. Making Sense of the Chest X-ray offers:

• Advice on when to seek additional/expert opinion
• Suggestions on how to deal with particularly difficult areas
• An emphasis on the link between radiographic appearance and clinical finding

Additional features include:

• Designed with an easy-to-read layout, featuring ""pearls of wisdom,"" ""thinking points,"" and ""warning boxes"" to aid and encourage reflective practice
• Includes over 200 high-quality photographs and clear explanatory line diagrams, many brand new for this edition
