DENSITIES The big two densities are:
(1) WHITE - Bone
(2) BLACK - Air
The others are:
(3) DARK GREY- Fat
(4) GREY- Soft tissue/water
And if anything Man-made is on the film, it is:
(5) BRIGHT WHITE - Man-made

TECHNICALLY ADEQUATE The patient should be examined in
full inspiration. This greatly helps the radiologist to
determine if there are intrapulmonary abnormalities.
The diaphragm should be found at about the level of the 8th - 10th posterior rib or 5th - 6th anterior rib on good inspiration.
A patient can appear to have a very abnormal chest if the film is taken during expiration.

INSPIRATION/EXPIRATION

ROTATION If there is rotation of
the patient, the mediastinum may look very unusual.
One can access patient rotation by observing the clavicular heads and determining whether they are equal distance from the spinous process of the thoracic vertebral bodies.
