Chronic dyspnea of pulmonary origin raises concern for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or interstitial lung disease. A chest radiograph is recommended as the initial imaging study. When chest radiography is nonrevealing or provides no definitive diagnosis, a high-resolution chest computed tomography is indicated. The high-resolution chest computed tomography should include expiratory imag...

The Chrispin-Norman chest radiograph scoring (CNS) system is widely used to assess respiratory disease progression in cystic fibrosis (CF). Frontal and lateral chest radiographs were performed. The present authors developed a modified CNS, which obviates the need for the lateral film. This study compares the original and the current authors' modified scoring system. A total of 50 chest radiogra...

The value of erect and supine abdominal radiographs and erect chest radiographs was analysed prospectively in 102 consecutive patients admitted to hospital with acute abdominal symptoms. The radiographs were reported on initially by junior surgeons of the admitting team, special note being made of the value of the erect abdominal radiograph over the combination of the supine abdominal radiograp...
