Abstract:
In primary care, chest X-rays are commonly performed to assess patients presenting with a prolonged
cough. However, the extent to which the flms are accurately interpreted depends on the skill of the
doctors. Doctors with insufcient experience may miss an exact diagnosis when evaluating a flm,
especially in patients with nonspecifc symptoms, such as in the case discussed in this paper. Tis
case involved a persistent dry cough with an underlying diagnosis that would have been missed if the
fndings of the chest X-ray had not been properly analyzed.
