XRAY Chest

X-ray of the chest is a medical imaging technique that uses low doses of radiation to create images of the chest area, including the heart, lungs, ribs, and diaphragm. The primary reason for taking an X-ray of the chest is to evaluate the respiratory system for signs of disease or injury, such as pneumonia, lung cancer, tuberculosis, and other conditions. X-ray of the chest can also help diagnose other medical problems like heart failure, bone fractures, and foreign objects in the chest. The procedure is quick and painless, and it is one of the most commonly used diagnostic tools in medicine. Your doctor may recommend a chest X-ray if you have symptoms such as coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, or fever. Additionally, chest X-rays are often performed as a part of routine medical check-ups or before surgeries to ensure that there are no underlying conditions that may complicate the procedure.
