Chest X-ray PA

The Chest X-ray PA (Posteroanterior) is a diagnostic imaging test that provides a view of the chest cavity, including the lungs, heart, and surrounding structures. This test is essential for evaluating and diagnosing conditions such as infections, tumors, fluid accumulation, and abnormalities in the lungs and heart. It aids in assessing respiratory health, detecting irregularities, and monitoring the progress of various conditions. The procedure involves positioning the patient upright against an X-ray plate while the X-ray machine captures images from back to front. The resulting images are analyzed to offer insights into the chest's internal structures, supporting medical diagnosis and treatment planning.

Chest X-rays are typically performed as needed based on symptoms or existing medical conditions.
