Abstract
The history of radiology began in 18th century with the experimental discovery of x-rays by a German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, making it possible to evaluate structures inside the human body. Since then, the radiologic techniques and evaluation methods have improved greatly. The purpose of this paper is to propose a systematic evaluation method of chest radiographs to improve the quality of the evaluation by the physician that is attending the patient or radiologist in training, we will use normal and pathological cases to illustrate and improve the learning of our proposed interpretation method.
