Imaging of acute thoracic disease (Proceedings)

Obvious thoracic disease need not be discussed here. Fulminating heart failure, pneumonia, advanced metastatic lung disease, severe pneumothorax and pleural effusion are reliably diagnosed radiographically. What I would like to share with you are the less obvious radiographic manifestations of acute cardio-respiratory disease and my approach to diagnosis. And remember, in the final assessment much can be learned from the presenting clinical signs. Does the patient have a cardiac murmur or history of heart disease? Was there an observed or suspected trauma?
