Description

Chest X-Ray is the most widely practiced imaging procedure and knowing how to read it is a basic skill for every medical student or practitioner.

This course will help you start from the very beginning till you are able to read any CXR.

In this course:

We will start with how to assess the four basic pillars of image quality using the mnemonic "RIPE".
Then we will go through a quick anatomical review of which structures we see on a CXR.
Then we will start learning to assess CXR in details following the mnemonic "ABCDEF":
- A for Airways
- B for Bones
- C for Cardiac Silhouette
- D for Diaphragm
- E for Effusions
- F for Lung Fields

And with a quiz after every lecture you will see the progress yourself!

Just stay with me for the next two hours and you will gain a skill that you will always need.
