Strengths:
§ Low cost
§ Readily available
§ Low radiation
§ Can be performed at bedside

Weaknesses:
§ Low diagnostic yield
§ For portable chest x-radiographs, poor results in obese patients, heart overmagnification caused by film taken anteroposteriorly, poor respiratory effort, and poor positioning of patients; the degree of inspiration is likely to be substantially less in a portable chest x-ray than with an erect film, making the heart appear relatively larger and providing less optimal visualization of the lungs because they are not optimally expanded.
Comments:
§ Proper exposure for evaluating the cardiac structures is present when the spine is just visible behind the heart.
