The most frequent reason for radiography referral in children is a chest infection.
Feverish illness is very common in young children, with between 20 and 40% of parents reporting such an illness each year. As a result, fever is probably the commonest reason for a child to be taken to the doctor. Feverish illness is also the second most common reason for a child being admitted to hospital. Despite advances in healthcare, infections remain the leading cause of death in children under the age of 5 years [1](read details regarding the reference).

This first session will focus on providing an overview of anatomy and functionality of the paediatric chest, as well as key radiographic appearances of chest infections.
