1, see a doctor if you have any questions.
For ordinary people, chest radiographs will be more difficult to understand. Therefore, it is particularly important to find a doctor and communicate with him. Doctors can tell us the correct way to understand chest radiographs, what the data means, and so on.
2. Understand the composition of chest radiograph.
With a chest X-ray, we can clearly see the bones in our bodies. Lighter striped objects are the bones of our chest, such as ribs and collarbone. We can check whether the bone is dislocated, cracked or broken.
Secondly, we can look at our lungs. The lungs are located on both sides of the chest, with large area and dark color. We can check whether the texture of the lung field is clear, and the clarity of the texture in different parts of the lung field is different. Generally speaking, the texture of the lower part is clearer than that of the upper part, and the texture of the inner part is clearer than that of the outer part. If this is not the case, we should consider whether there are lesions.
So, are there any shadow parts in the lungs? If there is a shadow, it means that there is a disease in the lungs here. Ask the doctor what's wrong, and the doctor will give a clear answer. Finally, you can see if there are foreign bodies in the chest, such as metal foreign bodies and tracheal foreign bodies.
3. Pay attention to the chest radiograph.
Because patients have no professional knowledge, sometimes they will make wrong judgments when watching chest radiographs, and treat some minor illnesses as serious illnesses, thus affecting their mood and health. Therefore, we'd better show it to the attending doctor, who will give professional judgment.
In short, we can master some tips for watching chest radiographs, but we still have to let doctors make professional judgments and suggestions.
