Directional terminology and anatomical planes of the thorax and the various body systems within are explained.

The relationship between diagnostic imaging, pathology and histopathology is explored. Finally, the chapter examines the role of imaging signs in screening tests, detailing the difference between general and special signs and stressing the potential for errors and biases to affect image interpretation.",
