Anatomy coverage

Apices to CP angles; lines, tubes, devices.

Tech pearls

  • Always raise detector — apices are the first to be missed.
  • Label clearly: AP, supine, portable.

Image evaluation

  • Heart appears magnified (expected on AP)
  • Lines, tubes, devices verified

Common mistakes

Apices clipped

Why: Detector positioned too low under the patient.

Fix: Slide detector up so the top is 1.5 in above shoulders.

Trauma modifications

  • Always perform after intubation, central line, chest tube placement.
  • Cross-reference with prior films.
