Chest radiography and other radiographic imaging techniques often are extremely useful in the differential diagnosis of chest diseases in ICU patients. It should be remembered, however, that the findings on these imaging studies often are nonspecific. Also, different pathologic processes may be present in a patient's lungs at the same time. Clinical parameters, medical diagnostic studies, and laboratory studies are important in the differentiation of disease processes in these patients. The radiologist should work closely with the clinician to provide optimal care for patients in the ICU setting.
胸部X线摄影及其他放射成像技术在ICU患者胸部疾病的鉴别诊断中常常极为有用。然而，应记住的是，这些影像学检查的结果往往是非特异性的。此外，患者肺部可能同时存在不同的病理过程。临床参数、医学诊断检查及实验室检查对于鉴别这些患者的疾病过程很重要。放射科医生应与临床医生密切合作，为ICU环境中的患者提供最佳护理。
