Chest X-ray
A chest X-ray is a medical imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation to create pictures of the structures inside your chest, including your heart, lungs, and bones. It helps doctors diagnose various conditions, such as infections, tumors, or lung diseases. During the procedure, you stand in front of an X-ray machine and take a deep breath to ensure clear images. The results are reviewed by a radiologist, who then shares findings with your doctor to guide treatment decisions. It's a quick and non-invasive way to assess your chest health.
