Mark S. Parker, Marvin H. Chasen, Narinder Paul

ABSTRACT

Objective Chest imaging remains one of the most complicated sub­specialties of diagnostic radiology. The successful interpre­tation of thoracic imaging studies requires the recognition and understanding of the radiologic signs that are charac­teristic of many complex disease processes.

Conclusion The educational objectives for this case-based self-assess­ment module are for the participant to exercise, self-assess, and improve his or her understanding of important thorac­ic radiologic signs that are useful in establishing the diagno­sis of particular diseases of the chest.
