Abstract
The chest X-ray (CXR) is an important diagnostic tool in diagnosing and
monitoring a spectrum of diseases. It has a crucial role in the clinical decision-making process.
The chest radiograph is the most commonly performed radiologic examination and can be one of
the most complex and most difficult to interpret. Emergency physicians and residents are
required to interpret CXR. Competence in interpreting Emergency CXR is essential for
emergency and critical care residents to ensure timely and accurate diagnosis and treatment.
However, there is a lack of comprehensive studies in developing countries assessing the
competency levels of emergency and critical care medicine residents
