RATIONALE:

Chest imaging using chest radiograph (X-ray) and Computed Tomography (CT) have been the main stay of diagnosis in various infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. While, chest X-ray is the primary imaging modality for patient s with various clinical presentations. Chest CT on the other hand is preserved for more detailed assessment of abnormalities seen chest X-ray or when the chest X-ray fails to explain the clinical presentation.

Radiologists, clinicians and surgeons need to be familiar with imaging features of important diseases of the chest and further workup
