Case 1-chest radiography
On this page, we focus on the frontal view of the chest--particularly what we can learn about vessels, bronchi, interstitium of the lung, overall level of lung inflation, and pleura. For many of these findings, it is important to know how the image was done. The routine view for the frontal chest is PA in the upright position.
