Indications for chest x-ray in lymphadenopathy:[1]
Bihilar lymphadenopathy is a radiographic term that describes the enlargement of mediastinal lymph nodes. It is easy and most commonly identified by a chest x-ray. Assessment for lung tuberculosis in children with Positive isolated Tuberculin Skin Test should primarily be generated with a chest X-ray. There is no need for a routine thoracic CT scan for Asymptomatic patients with just hilar lymphadenopathy in the chest X-ray.[2]
