A member asked:

Could you please explain these results from my sons xrays poor inspiratory effort accounting to bronchovascular criwding bibasally?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take a big breath: The x-ray technician usually says, "Take a big breath," and takes the shot at the moment there is maximum air in the lungs. If the patient doesn't take a big breath, or if the tech shoots before or after the big breath, the x-ray may be harder to interpret. The doctor reading the x-ray usually will assume that the patient did not take a big breath, and will write "poor inspiratory effort."
