Abstract:
Chest radiography (CXR) remains the most frequently performed imaging modality worldwide and serves as the first-line investigation for cardiopulmonary conditions. Despite its widespread use, interpretation is limited by the two-dimensional representation of three-dimensional anatomy, resulting in structural overlap and reduced lesion conspicuity. This review provides a structured, pattern-based approach to commonly overlooked regions on CXR, emphasizing key anatomical blind spots including the lung apices, pleura, trachea, lung bases, hila, mediastinum, retrocardiac region, thoracic skeleton, soft tissues, upper abdomen, and medical devices. Both perceptual and cognitive errors are highlighted, particularly satisfaction of search and under-recognition of subtle abnormalities.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
