The first part of the tutorial focuses on the normal chest radiograph anatomy while the second part consists of ten cases representing some of the most common patterns of abnormalities seen on a chest x-ray. The second part of the tutorial uses an interactive question and answer process that guides the student through a stepwise approach to chest x-ray interpretation, which includes recognition of the abnormality, pattern description, and finally the differential diagnosis of the abnormality."
