【 摘 要 】

Plain X-rays are still important basic first-line investigations for the family physician practising in the private and public sectors. They are useful in the detection of pathology in the skeletal system as well as some disease processes in the soft tissues. Notable examples include chest X-rays which can be used to identify diseases such as pneumonia, carcinoma of the lung or pulmonary oedema. The chest X-ray presented here is of a 62-year-old man presenting with a 3-month history of loss of weight and appetite as well as a chronic cough.
