We are excited to come back with our first event this academic term focusing on chest radiology! Our teaching on chest radiology will consist of two sessions.

During this first session, we will review the systematic approach to chest X-ray interpretation and discuss clinical case studies which have been matched to the MLA content map on Clinical Imaging. The teaching will be delivered by three final year medical students. The content of the session has been proofread and crosschecked for accuracy by a radiology registrar.

The clinical case studies will cover a broad range or respiratory and cardiovascular pathologies, including pneumothorax, pneumonia, lung cancer, pleural effusion, and cardiac failure.

The second session will be organised subsequently and the teaching will be delivered by a radiology trainee, involving more complex cases and additionally covering CT chest interpretation and CTPAs. More details coming soon! We would strongly recommend attending both sessions to gain the most from our teaching and ace your OSCE stations or multiple choice finals questions on chest radiology!

Learning objectives

1. By the end of this session, learners should be able to apply a systematic approach to chest X-ray interpretation, reducing the risk of overlooking key abnormalities. 2. Participants should be able to recognize and correctly interpret the common respiratory and cardiovascular pathologies as seen on chest X-rays, including pneumothorax, pneumonia, lung cancer, pleural effusion, and cardiac failure. 3. Through detailed clinical case studies, learners should develop their skills in integrating radiological findings with clinical information to arrive at the most probable diagnosis. 4. Students should gain the knowledge and confidence to answer OSCE stations or multiple choice final questions pertaining to chest radiology. 5. Learners should understand the value and importance of radiological investigations in clinical decision making, prompting them to attend the subsequent session on more complex cases and CT investigations.
