Systematic thoracic radiograph interpretation

• Know (and utilize) a systematic, “outside-in” approach to thoracic radiograph interpretation
• Understand a systematic approach to interpreting extrathoracic structure and pleural space pathology
• Be able to differentiate pleural space pathology from normal anatomy (e.g. differentiating pneumothorax from peripheral pulmonary parenchyma and pleural effusion from pulmonary vasculature)

Case discussion: extrathoracic structures and pleural space

• Know normal extra-thoracic and pleural space anatomy and radiographic appearance
• Apply anatomic knowledge and systematic approach to the extra-thoracic structures and pleural space in selected case examples
