Fundamentals of Chest Roentgenography

It could be so frustrating seeing Medical students on posting to Radiology department feeling drowsy in a teaching class, especially during film sessions. Some claimed that their absent-mindedness and disinterest are born out of lack of comprehension of technical and new terminologies. Resident Doctors who are on short posting in Radiology, sometimes show slow comprehension of dealing with the rudiments of chest radiographic evaluations. This may be attributable to lack of basic knowledge of Radiology back to their undergraduate days. The consequences of the aforementioned disinterest in their formative years of medical education. This book serves as a handy reference point to Medical students long after their Radiology posting. It will be invaluable to Junior Resident Doctors in Radiology and Resident Doctors in other specialties especially Respiratory Medicine, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Family Medicine and others. It is also indispensable to Medical Officers especially in areas with few or no Radiologists on ground. Even when there is a Radiologist, at least a formative opinion of the radiograph prior to referral for evaluation will boast the confidence of the Medical practitioner.
