The Role of Chest X-ray in Diagnosing Diseases

An X-ray is an imaging test that utilizes a small amount of radiation to create images of the body's organs, tissues, and bones. When focused on the chest, it can detect anomalies or disorders of the airways, blood vessels, bones, heart, and lungs. X-rays of the chest can also reveal whether you have fluid in your lungs or if there is fluid or air surrounding your lungs.
