Quality and radiological findings
The radiological patterns, summarized in Table 3, revealed that almost
half of the chest x-rays (47%) were classified as high quality, 35%
were categorized as medium quality, and 16% were considered low
quality. Additionally, nearly one-third of the chest x-rays (31%) were
interpreted as normal. The most frequently encountered findings were
peribronchial thickening and interstitial opacities, each occurring in
59% of the cases. Alveolar opacities followed as the next most
frequent, found in 12% of the patients, consolidation in sixteen
patients and eight patients exhibited pleural effusion. The most
frequent location was bilateral, and distribution was mainly central.
