THE VALUE(?) OF ROUTINE CHEST RADIOGRAPHY IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

Paula W. Brill M.D.1, Margaret L. Ewing M.D.1, and Albert A. Dunn M.D.1

1 Departments of Radiology and Pediatrics, Roosevelt Hospital, New York

Analysis was made of the findings on routine chest radiographs of 1,000 healthy children in a preventive pediatric clinic which serves a low-income area of New York City. Six percent of the patients had radiographically reportable findings, most of which were minor skeletal anomalies. None required treatment. The lack of significant positive findings suggests that chest radiography is not indicated as part of a screening evaluation in healthy children.
