Imaging of the chest made considerable progress over the past twenty years. Nevertheless, a chest X-ray remains one of the most informative and hence frequently used diagnostic procedures in daily medical practice. The choice of additional imaging techniques has to be based on pertinent differential diagnostic considerations. Basic knowledge of the various radiological techniques facilitates and improves the diagnostic process and a common terminology enhances the communication between the clinician and the radiologist. Modern radiological procedures are less invasive as compared to some historical procedures, are well tolerated by the patients and have a high sensitivity and specificity.
在过去二十年中，胸部影像学取得了长足的进步。然而，胸部X光检查仍然是日常医疗实践中最具信息量且因此经常使用的诊断程序之一。额外影像学技术的选择必须基于相关的鉴别诊断考虑因素。对各种放射学技术的基本知识有助于并改善诊断过程，而通用术语则增强了临床医生与放射科医生之间的沟通。与一些传统检查方法相比，现代放射学检查侵入性较小，患者耐受性良好，且具有高灵敏度和特异性。
