For each case, first use a systematic method (such as my "CLAVICLE" system) to analyze the film, make up your mind about what is wrong with the patient, then read my description. For every case I go through every step of the CLAVICLE method.

This materially would ideally be taught after a student has had some initial clinical experience but before he/she has had the time to learn bad habits from those who never learned how to properly look at a chest film. Unfortunately, such a time never really exists. I introduce this material (and provide these handouts) during the second year of medical school and then I teach it more in depth during the radiology clerkship for fourth-year medical students. I believe that all medical students should have some level of comfort with the plain chest film, and this book covers what I consider to be the "core" material. It also provides a simple, yet complete, systematic method for analyzing every chest film. < Less
