title: [How to Read a Chest-X-ray?].
abstract: Only a standartized, systematic approach allows a complete review of a chest x-ray and the collection of all relevant informations. In detail, alterations of the following structures should be sought: soft tissue, bones, pleura, mediastinum, lung, heart, pulmonary circulation and hili. Technical factors and the position of the patient should also be considered.
