    ayuni
    This chest X-ray report template outlines the key areas and structures to evaluate on a chest radiograph. These include demographics, exposure details, lung fields, heart, diaphragm, soft tissues, and abnormalities. The report guides the radiologist to systematically analyze the airway, mediastinum, breathing, circulation, and other visible structures on the X-ray from top to bottom. Any notable findings should then be summarized.

    Chest X RAY

    1. Demographic
    2. AP/PA
    3. Date taken

    Ex: This is a chest radiograph belongs to Mr, X, in supine AP position, taken on 01/01/11.

    4. Penetration/ exposure ( should be just able to work out the spinous process.)
    Ex: under exposure = too black
    over exposure = too white

    5. Field (adequate)
    Ex : diaphragm ( x miss pneumo-peritoneum)
    groin ( x miss hernia)

    6. Rotation
    Ex: medial clavicle ends equidistant from the spinous process

    7. The most obvious abnormality is …….


    8. Going through it systematically.

    Airway and mediastinum


    9. Trachea- central or slightly to the right lung as crosses aortic arch.
    10. Thymus
    11. Posterior ribs : 8-9th
    12. Anterior ribs : 6th
    13. Use only posterior ribs in the younger child
    14. Hyperinflated lung

    Breathing
    15. Lung – UZ,MZ,LZ
    16. Lung field outlines – abnormal(homogenous or heterogeneous) opacity/lucency, consolidation
    17. Vessels and bronchi(air bronchogram?) in the lung field
    18. Pleural –Pleural thickening

    Circulation
    19. Heart position – RA, RV, LA, LV (2/3 to left, 1/3 to right)
    20. Heart size – Cardiothoracic ratio on AP film ( 0.6 )
    21. Hilar shadows

    Diaphragm
    22. Hemidiaphragm level – right lung higher than left lung (liver)
    23. Cardiophrenic and costophrenic angle – clear and sharp.
    24. Gastric bubble/ colonic air
    25. Subdiaphragmatic air – pneumoperitoneum
    Soft tissues
    26. Ribs, sternum, clavicles, spine – fractures, dislocated

    27. Summarise
