Abstract

of the Chest Editor Wall in Lung Cancer Novice readers of the recent Devil’s Advocate exchange on pneumothorax detection (1-3) may miss the forest because of the focus on the expiratory and lateral decubitus views. Occasionally, these examinations may be helpful, but they should not be the “initial” examination, the “standard” examination, or the “procedure of choice” for assessment of pneumothorax.
