Abstract
Chest X-ray constitutes the basic investigation of lungs and mediastinum in children. Precise knowledge of the anatomy is necessary for a relevant interpretation. Reading the AP-view consists in the successive analysis of bones, soft tissues, mediastinum, and lung fields. The exposition of lateral view is not systematic and must be made after analysing the AP-view. The various aspects in relation with the thymus have also to be known, in particular in the first 2 years of life.
