چکیده
In recent years, continuing trends in radiology have tended to diminish the importance of conventional thorax radiology. Computed tomography (CT), highresolution CT and magnetic resonance have been applied with great success to the investigation of a range of thoracic diseases. Used separately or in sequence, they have extended our ability to evaluate many diseases. Through the use of axial imaging techniques, a lot of pulmonary images have become more understandable and interpretable for radiologists. Nowadays, the conventional chest X-ray, cheap and easily accessible but limited in scope and sensitivity, often seems irrelevant in the presence of such powerful imaging techniques. However, it would be unwise to neglect or dismiss the information conventional chest Difficulties in the Interpretation of Chest Radiography
