How I Read a Chest CT

This is for first year residents, starting out on their chest rotation. This is the order in which I read a chest CT. When you first start out, it is important to stick to a script so that you read studies the same way each time. It may be beneficial to have a checklist that you follow to make sure you aren't missing anything.

Textbooks I like for chest radiology—
Med students and all residents: Felson’s Principles of Chest Roentgenology

Radiology residents: Thoracic Imaging: Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Radiology

Thoracic radiology fellows: Muller’s Imaging of the Chest: Expert Radiology Series

Great video - I'm a stage IV renal cell carcinoma patient and this helped me understand my chest CT. Thank you for taking the time to make it.

Currently in my Prelim-IM year, but will be starting Radiology in just a few months. Your videos are awesome! Really helped me out answering "pimp" questions during my Pulmonology rotation when the attending would pull up a CXR or Chest CT. Thank you for your time making these videos!

Thanks for video. Long Term (over 20 years) undiagnosed issues. Had a few of these scans. Incapacitated in the first 8 months, definitively started in left lung after a game of football. Notes of trapped air, and GGO, but it's plateaued. Will scrutinise my dicom set!

Hey. Lovely video. Would be great if you could also add pointers as to how you anatomically delineate certain important structures. For eg. How does a beginner correctly identify the GE junction. Hope this could be done. Thanks again

Currently in a transitional year but starting rads next year. I have a lot of downtime on easy rotations so I’ve been watching your videos and then testing myself on E-anatomy. Hopefully I can start day 1 at least knowing the anatomy!
