A ‘normal’ chest Xray

By Jayram Pai | cases, pediatrics, radiology | Comments are Closed | 8 October, 2018 | 0

What do you see when you take a look at this Chest radiograph?

By Nachi Gupta | Pearl of the Day, radiology | Comments are Closed | 30 January, 2017 | 0

By bassan | neurology, radiology | Comments are Closed | 20 October, 2015 | 0

Does that young, well appearing patient with the “worst headache of their life” really need that lumbar puncture (LP)?

By bassan | radiology | Comments are Closed | 2 October, 2015 | 0
