title: Pediatric Chest Radiographs: Common and Less Common Errors.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Radiographic imaging of the pediatric chest presents several unique challenges and nuances, stemming from congenital variants and pathologic processes specific to this population. Errors in interpretation may lead to inappropriate further imaging, incurring additional radiation exposure and cost, as well as psychologic effects on the patients and their families.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Here, we aim to highlight some common and less common pitfalls in pediatric chest radiography, as well as some tools for avoiding potential mistakes.
