Br J Hosp Med. 1986 Feb;35(2):120-3.

Preoperative chest X-rays are performed routinely in many surgical units. But is the procedure of value? Do the benefits to patients justify the costs and risks? In this paper, the evidence is reviewed and the conclusion reached that routine preoperative chest X-rays should be abandoned in elective non-cardiopulmonary surgery.
