Is this legit? I've never heard it before -- is it commonplace? Should it be in the article -- Samir धर्म 06:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Airway (Trachea midline?) Breathing (Lung volume/rib spaces, fissures, effusions, pneumothorax) Circulation (Heart size, great vessels, cardiac borders, hilar regions etc) Diaphragm (Elevated? Free gas? Angles?) Everything else (Subcutaneous emphysema, Bones) **HH** —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.130.36.43 ( talk) 08:36, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
What's the dose estimation from an x-ray? this should be in the article. - Theanphibian ( talk • contribs) 20:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
In the additional views section, views are defined by their usefulness, but no explanation of how the view is taken is provided (e.g. pt standing, anterior to posterior, etc.) Decubitus, for instance, needs further description as to how it is taken. Jopparoad 02:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
A section on what is expected on a normal chest x ray would be useful e.g. what each part of the cardiac silhouette represents, how many rib spaces should be seen on a good inspiration film, where should the horizontal fissure be etc **HH** —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.130.36.43 ( talk) 08:40, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Changed "Limitations: While chest radiographs are a cheap and *safe* method of investigating diseases of the chest..." to "... relatively safe ...". They are not absolutely safe.

I am a patient advocate with an interest in the work of the American College of Radiology. The College has published a list of five things to question as part of the Choosing Wisely project.
I am reviewing this article according to the instructions at WP:HealthReview.
I suggest changing the article in the following ways:
I think that this article could be improved by adding this statement:
Evidence suggests that in most cases, routine admission or preoperative chest x-rays are not recommended for ambulatory patients. Changes in management based on chest x-rays in these circumstances are extremely rare, occurring in only 2 percent of such images.
This reference supports the above statement:
Munro J, Booth A, Nicholl J. Routine preoperative testing: a systematic review of the evidence. Health Technol Assess 1997; 1(12):i-iv; 1-62
Thank you for your attention.
