Body was changed:

One approach to a systematic chest radiograph assessment is as follows:

  1. projection

  2. assessment

    assessment of the technical adequacy

  3. tubes and lines

  4. cardiomediastinal contours

  5. hila

  6. airways, lungs and pleura

  7. bones and soft tissue

  8. review areas

Following a systematic approach on every chest radiograph will prevent missed findings.
