This high-yield chest imaging video is designed for COMLEX and USMLE preparation, with a rapid, practical walkthrough of the most commonly tested thoracic imaging findings on chest X-ray and CT. If you struggle with recognizing pathology on imaging or translating images into management decisions, this video is for you.
This is part of our free COMLEX/USMLE imaging review series, focused on helping medical students quickly identify what they are looking at, why it matters, and how the exam expects you to think.
