points include 'Topics in the G. Simon collection of Cases in Cardio-thoracic
Radiology'
http://www.sbu.ac.uk/~dirt/museum/g-topics.html and 'Case listing in order
of pathology' at
http://www.sbu.ac.uk/~dirt/museum/chest.html. The 'Pulmonary Radiology
Teaching' has features such as a pathological index of radiological images
at http://www.sbu.ac.uk/~dirt/museum/pathindx.html.
Besides, there is a review of the Silhouette Sign at http://www.sbu.ac.uk/~dirt/museum/rootsilh.html.

pediatric thoracic disease authored by M.P. D'Alessandro, from the Department
of Radiology, University of Iowa College of Medicine. This educative portal presented
at http://www.virtualpediatrichospital.org/providers/TAP/Thoracopedia.shtml
has cases listed by knowns / unknowns that are organized by disease type or by
age or simply as unorganized unknowns.
7. Lobar Collapse
Tutorial at http://www.radiology.co.uk/xrayfile/xray/tutors/collapse/tutorial.htm
is an illustrative tutorial available in the X-ray Files. This tutorial
created by Dr A Downie is designed to explain the various types of lobar collapse
on the plain chest film with illustrations and examples. Topics covered here are
silhouette sign, causes of collapse, general features of lobar collapse, normal
PA and lateral film, Extent of lobes on normal films and the types of lobe collapse.
8. ChestX-Ray.com at http://www.chestx-ray.com/
