2. Disclosures
This ongoing chest X-ray interpretation series is proudly sponsored by the
Emergency Medicine Residency Program at Carolinas Medical Center.
The goal is to promote widespread mastery of CXR interpretation.
There is no personal health information [PHI] within, and ages have been
changed to protect patient confidentiality.
3. Process
Many are providing cases and these slides are shared with all contributors.
Contributors from many CMC/LCH departments, and now from EM
colleagues in Brazil, Chile and Tanzania.
Cases submitted this month will be distributed next month.
When reviewing the presentation, the 1st image will show a chest X-ray
without identifiers and the 2nd image will reveal the diagnosis.
