[Misinterpretation of chest roentgenogram in intensive care patients (author's transl)].

Abstract

Misinterpretation of chest roentgenograms in intensive care patients can be largely obviated by a skilled technique and a thorough knowledge on the part of the radiologist of the structural changes in the lungs and their differential diagnostic significance. Correct interpretation is facilitated by relating the observed changes to the pathophysiological clinical findings.
