““following limitations: 1.    These are AP films therefore; the cardiac size cannot be accurately assessed. 2.    Pleural fluid lies posteriorly creating a denser hemithorax. 3.    A pneumothorax lies anteriorly and so can be missed. 4.    Upper lobe vessels will be prominent even in the absence of cardiac failure. 5.    Good inflation of the lungs is difficult, even if the volumes are normal.””
