Abstract

Abstract: The chest radiograph – better known as the chest X-ray or CXR – remains one of the most important imaging tools in patients with suspected or known cardiac disease. This article provides a guide to the systematic interpretation of a chest radiograph and a review of the classic radiological signs of cardiac disease. Indications for use in cardiac disease are summarized.
