About the author

I’m a Consultant Radiologist with a special interest in cardiothoracic imaging. I created this guide because I know how difficult chest X-Rays can be for anyone not formally trained. This can lead to missed findings, not because they weren’t smart, but because no one had shown them what to look for. Hopefully this guide can pick up some of the common chest X-Ray signs.
