This document provides a summary of 100 chest x-ray cases studied by Dr. Suneet Khurana. It begins with an overview of how different tissues appear on chest x-rays, such as gas appearing black and bone appearing white. It then discusses the standard views used for chest x-rays and provides a systematic approach for examining chest x-rays. The majority of the document presents 103 cases of various chest pathologies visualized on x-ray with accompanying images and brief descriptions.
