An X-ray done to detect lung disease or to determine the size and position of the heart, ribs, or other internal structures of the chest.<\/p>\n
The most common diagnostic tool for producing images of the structures, organs, and tissues inside the chest. When X-ray beams are passed through the chest, dense structures such as bone do not allow many X rays to pass through them. Tubular structures such as the blood vessels in the chest are outlined more clearly on X-ray film if they are filled with a contrast medium. Chest X rays may be used to diagnose lung diseases such as cancer or pneumonia or to help identify conditions such as an enlarged heart, congestive heart failure, and other consequences of heart disease.<\/p>\n
A concise irradiation of the thoracic region, ingeniously engineered to yield a visual depiction of the chest and its intricate inner framework.<\/p>\n
