This document provides an overview of chest x-rays including the anatomy seen on x-rays, common abnormal findings, and examples of different pathologies that can be identified from chest x-rays such as pneumonia, pulmonary edema, tumors, fractures, and more. Key anatomical structures discussed include the scapula, fissures, and silhouettes of organs that can be seen on x-rays. Examples of common findings listed are opacities, consolidations, cavities, and pleural effusions. The document also includes several annotated chest x-ray images showing different conditions.
