Thoracic surgeons at the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada, assessed outcomes after implementing a quality improvement initiative in which they ditched x-rays in these patients in favor of clinical observation alone. All patients who had any symptoms underwent a chest x-ray. The full study is available here.
