Other items to check before commencing with clinical review of the film include:
- Type of film (although this is a chest program, practice noticing if it is a plain film, CT, angio, MRI, etc.)
- Patients position - supine, upright, lateral, decubitus.
- Technical quality of exam - learn what are the acceptable limits for the exam. You can't find a subtle pneumothorax if there is patient motion or the film is overexposed.
