Thoracic Radiograph Review

Thoracic radiography is an important component of the assessment of many patients with suspected or known cardiovascular disease. Our cardiology-focused review interprets the submitted thoracic radiographs in the context of the patient's clinical presentation.

The review may include:

  • Assessment of cardiac silhouette size and morphology
  • Evaluation of the pulmonary vasculature
  • Assessment for radiographic evidence of congestive heart failure
  • Evaluation of relevant pulmonary abnormalities
  • Differential diagnoses where appropriate
  • Recommendations for further cardiovascular investigation or monitoring when indicated
