The main role of HRCT is to differentiate fine pathological abnormality.
Change in size and shape of normal anatomical structures can rather be easier to be detected by the findings of chest radiograph rather than those of CT.
Therefore for adequate interpretation of pediatric chest radiographs, we should be aware of gross abnormal findings which might be overlooked by particular reasons.
However it is very important to know what kind of abnormality is not demonstrable on usual chest radiograph but well demonstrated on CT or HRCT.
Detection of abnormal findings
Quiz 1

Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea
Two mediastinal lines, the anterior and posterior junction lines, are occasionally seen on normal plain radiographs. The descending aorta and SVC interfaces are commonly seen on normal chest radiographs; their absence may suggest mediastinal or pulmonary abnormalities. The azygoesophageal and left paraspinal interfaces are not commonly seen on normal chest radiographs.
