The forgotten view: Chest X-ray - Lateral view

Abstract: With CT (computed tomography) chest gaining more importance as a diagnostic tool, chest X-ray especially the lateral view is taken less commonly nowadays. Besides CT chest is also proven to be superior to chest X-ray in patients with major blunt trauma. We are presenting a 68-year old male who was partially treated from outside for a left sided pneumonia. He came to our hospital because of persisting chest pain. Chest X-ray, frontal view (postero-anterior) was almost normal except for a mild opacity in the lef… Show more

“…There is another CXR imaging view called L, standing for Lateral, which is an adjunct for the main frontal view image. Lateral CXR is performed when there is diagnosis uncertainty using frontal CXR [ 21 ]. Thus it is not as common as frontal CXR, and due to its different angle, it is excluded from our data.…”

“…There is another CXR imaging view called L view, standing for Lateral, which is an adjunct for the main frontal view image. Lateral CXR is performed when there is diagnosis uncertainty using frontal CXR [39], thus it is not as common as frontal CXR and due to its different angel, it is excluded from our data. The third CXR view, called AP supine or AP erect, is an alternative for PA view, usually taken from the patients who are generally too unwell that can not leave the bed to sit or stand.…”

“…There are specific cases in which the lateral view provides information for diagnosis that isn't clear or visible on the PA view (Shiraishi et al, 2007;Feigin, 2010;Ittyachen et al, 2017). For example, up to 15% of the lung can be obscured by cardiovascular structures and the diaphragm (Raoof et al, 2012).…”
