Tecnique: AP. Poor inspiratory effort
Poor inspiratory effort is equally important. Essentially, the problem is that with a poor inspiratory effort, the pulmonary vessels become more prominent and an erroneous diagnosis of cardiac failure (probably the single most common diagnostic error made by medical students on any chest radiograph) is all too easy.
The international standard for labelling a chest radiograph is that a PA (posteroanterior) standard film has no annotative marking on it. All other variations: anteroposterior (AP); the decubitus; supine, or semi erect are all so annotated for the reviewer's assistance. By definition the patients in this latter category are of increased infirmity and the diagnostic threshold can be challenging.

The erect anteroposterior chest view is an alternative to the PA view when the patient is too unwell to tolerate standing or leaving the bed 1. The AP view examines the lungs, bony thoracic cavity, mediastinum, and great vessels. This particular projection is often used frequently to aid diagnosis of acute and chronic conditions in intensive care units and wards. The AP view is of lesser quality than the PA view for many reasons, yet sometimes it is the only imaging available to that patient.
The phase of respiration has a profound effect on the appearance of several structures on the chest radiograph. A poor-inspiratory AP radiograph can mimic pathology. Structures that can appear different on expiration include:

AP isn't a tecnique, it refers to the view. My answer should read 'AP (view). Poor respiratory effort'.

Oops! That should be 'technique'.

Chema Nieto Castañón
: Pobremente inspirada/pobre inspiración se refiere a ese poor inspiratory effort que señalas. La resolución no es lo relevante aquí; sí es una placa de baja calidad, pero secundaria específicamente a la ausencia de una inspiración completa del paciente.

Chest X-ray, AP erect: poorly inflated lungs
I don't agree with "poor inspiratory effort" as this is the CAUSE of "poorly inflated lungs" while a chest X-ray is taken. See the difference?
Other causes may be restrictive lung disease, atelectasis, etc.
