Hello and welcome to the next episode of Pills, Pearls and Patients. I'm your host, Dr. Marina Malak. And today is the second episode in our blood pressure series, Battling Blood Pressure. So I hope you've had an opportunity to listen to the first episode of battling BP. In that episode, we talked a little bit about the diagnosis of hypertension, how it's kind of a murky line and not a one time diagnosis for the high blood pressure in clinic. We talked about the various ways to diagnose blood pressure.

Welcome back to another episode of Inside Radiology, a Primary Care Perspective podcast. I'm Dr. Darcy Little, your host, a community radiologist with a background in primary care. In today's episode, we're decoding chest X-rays, identifying common findings and their clinical significance.
Our learning objectives today are, first and foremost to help you be a better clinician than the doctors on scrubs who put the x-rays backwards. But in reality, our objectives are to review basic radiology principles and to formalize a detailed approach to the interpretation of the chest radiograph with multiple illustrated examples. Just a flashback. It was not that long ago, November 1895, when Conrad Röentgen discovered the X-ray, and he noticed that it traveled through paper, wood and aluminum, and he called it X-radiation. But we sometimes call it Röentgen radiation to signify that he discovered it. And this X-ray on the right, on the lower aspect is were thought to be his hand. One of the first X-rays ever taken. We've come a long way since Röentgen.

Welcome to the Inside Radiology, a primary care perspective podcast where we bring you expert insights and discussions on the topic of radiology as it relates to primary care practice. In today's episode, we delve into the world of back pain, a very common condition faced by primary care physicians and patients, and the role of imaging in its diagnosis and management.
I'm your host, Dr. D'Arcy Little, a radiologist who has also practiced in primary care. And today our guest is Dr. Hamilton Hall, a well-known spine surgeon and well-known educator on this topic of back pain. Together, we'll attempt to shed light on what primary care physicians should know when treating patients with back pain and help to navigate the complexities of ordering tests if needed in this condition.
Let's dive in. So, as we all know, low back pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide. And it's the second most common symptom related reason for seeking care from a primary care physician. And despite increasing spending on health care services, patient outcomes really have not improved overall and global disability has not improved overall and in fact continues to increase over time from this condition.
Dr. Hall, we welcome you today to help us discuss this topic.
