Chest X-ray Detection and Classification of Chest Abnormalities

Dear Colleagues,

Chest radiography was one of the first and most diffuse imaging modalities to be performed, and it is still one of the most commonly used diagnostic methods. Due to its widespread diffusion, relative low cost, ease of performance and low radiant dose exposure, it represents one of the most common first-level examination used for the evaluation of chest diseases.

The recent and rapid development of new technologies, based firstly, for example, on computer-aided systems, and then on artificial intelligence technologies, has aided radiologists in the detection of imaging findings that could be misdiagnosed and in the definition of diagnosis in cases that may be difficult to understand.

This Special Issue aims to investigate the role of chest X-ray imaging in the detection and the classification of chest lesions, providing useful information on recent advancements in radiography and aiming to provide contributions which will improve clinical decision making and medical diagnoses.
