• Help you prepare for rounds. You will be able to present cases at rounds with confidence.
• Help you prepare for your examinations. No more getting tricked up on chest x-ray cases.
• Help you develop the foundational skills that will allow you to capitalize on all the case studies available on the internet.
For practicing physicians, the app will:
• Provide you with a comprehensive review of the anatomy and radiological anatomy of the thorax.
• Provide you with enabling insights into the interpretation process that you may not have received during your previous training.
• Help you develop the skill of identifying all chest x-ray pathologies, not only the obvious.

STRUCTURE
Section I* provides an overview of how x-rays are used to produce an image of the chest. The section is divided into 5 chapters that examine the building blocks necessary for chest x-ray interpretation. The chapters review x-ray image production and the general concepts related to image appearance.
Section II* introduces the concept of radiological zones to give you a starting point in the understanding of the radiological anatomy of the chest. The next chapters review in detail the radiological anatomy of specific anatomical structures, also provide examples of how the x-ray image can change due to pathology. The final chapter explains how the individual structures come together to form the radiological image.
Section III* starts with a chapter on how to interpret the chest x-ray; this is where you begin to put your new knowledge into practice. Now that you know what to look for, you can do so in a systematic way to ensure the accurate identification of pathology.
