Summary:© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015. The common pitfalls encountered in the chest radiography and chest computed tomography (CT) are reviewed. Chest radiograph interpretation pitfalls include technical and observer errors. Anatomic structures and their variations are sometimes confusing. To be able to recognize these variations or know the limitations of natural disease will help improve and enable a more confident diagnosis. Pitfalls in chest CT may be due to technical issues, artifacts, error of perception, and error of interpretation. The common misinterpretations, misses, and mimics encountered in chest CT are described. As they may have decisive impact on patient care, radiologists should be aware of these variety of pitfalls.
