    AbstractBecause it is relatively inexpensive and universally available, standard radiographs of the thorax should still be viewed as the primary screening technique to look at the anatomy of intrathoracic structures and to investigate airway or pulmonary disorders. Modern trained thoracic surgeons must be able to correlate surgical anatomy with what is seen on more advanced imaging techniques, however, such as CT or MRI. More importantly, they must be able to recognize the indications, capabilities, limitations, and pitfalls of these imaging methods.
