What's inside the Chest & Skeletal X-Ray library
The X-ray library trains a systematic search — airway, breathing, cardiac, diaphragm, everything else — so no finding is missed. Each entry names the finding and the teaching point.
Lobar consolidation
Look for a dense opacity confined to one lobe with air bronchograms running through it, and a silhouette sign where the border of the heart or diaphragm is lost against the consolidation. This localises the affected lobe and distinguishes pneumonia from a pleural effusion, which instead shows a meniscus and a blunted costophrenic angle.
Pneumothorax
Look for a visible visceral pleural line with absent lung markings peripheral to it. A tension pneumothorax pushes the trachea and mediastinum away from the affected side and flattens the diaphragm — a clinical diagnosis that needs immediate decompression, not a wait for imaging.
