Abstract

Clinical symptoms for patients with respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease often overlap. One of the first tests for patients with respiratory distress is a chest radiograph. A chest film frequently can distinguish primary lung disease and congenital heart disease. This chapter will discuss the appearance of a normal chest radiograph and which abnormalities point to cardiovascular disease, which often requires additional imaging. This chapter will also outline important differences in the infant’s upper airway compared to older children and adults. Furthermore, this chapter will briefly discuss chest ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications for pediatric patients.
