Previous imaging may be compared with the most recent scan to aid diagnosis. Identify the orientation of the lung images on the film. The axial image is displayed as if you are looking at the patient from the feet end of the bed. Coronal and sagittal views can be reconstructed as long as the original slices are thin and contiguous Fig. A systematic approach ensures that abnormalities are identified. Easily identifiable anatomical structures will allow the clinician to gain orientation. The ability to scroll through the imaging helps with dynamic assessment and anatomical differentiation.
This article is an introduction to some of the thoracic anatomy that can be reliably identified with modern multi-detector spiral CT scanners. Familiarity with normal anatomy and an understanding of the clinical setting allow the attending clinician to begin to interpret these images with the guidance and support from an experienced thoracic radiologist.
The second article in this series will examine pathology that may be identified in the anatomic locations reviewed in a systematic examination. Henwood S. Clinical CT: Techniques and Practice.

These coronal and axial CT images above show an obvious epidural bleed demonstrating the classic lentiform shape and mass-effect with a shift in the midline structures.
However, there is no apparent temporal fracture as would be expected with such a finding. A craniotomy was preformed for decompression and a subsequent CT below shows resolution of the mass effect.
This is a frontal chest radiograph above taken of a newborn with shortness of breath. The density in the left upper thorax is actually a normal thymic shadow.
In the right lower lung field there is what appears to be a pneumothorax, which, with respiratory treatment, has resolved on the subsequent radiograph taken the next morning below. The video link above demonstrates a series of still images obtained during a voiding cystourethrogram. The still images below display marked dilatation of the ureter and calyces suggesting grade 4 reflux.
