# Reporting Chest Radiographs Structures systematic chest X-ray interpretation with standardized reporting and critical findings communication. ## Why This Skill Exists Chest radiographs are the most frequently performed imaging study worldwide, accounting for roughly 40% of all diagnostic imaging. Missed findings on chest X-rays—particularly pneumothoraces, widened mediastinum, subtle pneumonias, and early malignancies—remain a leading source of malpractice claims in radiology. The ACR Practice Parameter for the Performance of Chest Radiography mandates a systematic approach covering all visible anatomic structures, correlation with clinical history, and comparison with prior studies when available. A structured, reproducible reporting method reduces perceptual and cognitive errors and ensures compliance with Joint Commission requirements for timely critical result communication. Variability in reporting style leads to ambiguity for referring physicians. Studies show that structured reports improve referring-clinician comprehension by over 30% compared to free-text narratives. This skill enforces the systematic checklist approach and standardized lexicon recommended by the Fleisch

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill reporting-chest-radiographs --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
