Nurses need to quickly interpret chest X-rays in decompensating patients but lack the training to identify specific signs of pneumonia, fluid overload, or atelectasis before radiologist reads.

Nurses have to wait for radiologist reads for definitive interpretation, but need real-time assessment to make immediate clinical decisions; no point-of-care decision support tool exists for nursing-level X-ray analysis.
