The chest radiograph has proved a robust diagnostic aid over the last century. The accumulation of knowledge about chest disease by radiography has been gained slowly during the last 90 years. New impetus has been given by the development of computed tomography and the recent refinements of high resolution and spiral computed tomography. The pathophysiological insights provided by these new techniques have been obtained in a remarkably short period, with the promise of more to come.
在过去的一个世纪里，胸部X光片已被证明是一种强大的诊断辅助工具。在过去的90年里，通过X光片积累的关于胸部疾病的知识进展缓慢。计算机断层扫描技术的发展以及最近高分辨率和螺旋计算机断层扫描技术的改进，为这一领域带来了新的动力。这些新技术所提供的病理生理学见解在相当短的时间内就已获得，而且未来有望取得更多成果。
