Chest Imaging in Clinical Practice: Techniques, Interpretation, and Diagnostic Value
Chest imaging is a cornerstone of modern diagnostic medicine, providing essential insights into thoracic anatomy and pathology. Techniques such as chest X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound play a crucial role in diagnosing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. This article explores the principles, clinical applications, and interpretation strategies of chest imaging modalities. It highlights their diagnostic value in conditions such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and interstitial lung disease[1]. Despite significant advancements, challenges such as radiation exposure and interpretation variability persist. Understanding the strengths and limitations of each modality is essential for optimizing patient care and improving diagnostic accuracy.
