What is a Chest X-Ray?

A chest X-ray uses low-dose radiation to create images of the lungs, heart, airways, and bones of the chest and spine. It is commonly used to detect:

• Pneumonia

• Lung infections or fluid

• Heart enlargement

• Fractured ribs or spine

• Chronic lung conditions (e.g., COPD, asthma)

What is an Abdomen X-Ray?

An abdominal X-ray focuses on the area between your chest and pelvis. It helps evaluate:

• Stomach or intestinal blockages

• Kidney stones

• Abnormal masses

• Swallowed objects

• Digestive tract problems

When is it Recommended?

Your doctor may order a chest and/or abdominal X-ray to investigate symptoms such as:

• Chest pain or shortness of breath

• Persistent cough or fever

• Abdominal pain or bloating

• Unexplained vomiting

• Suspected injury or trauma

What to Expect?

The procedure is quick, painless, and usually takes just a few minutes. You may be asked to remove jewelry or wear a hospital gown to avoid interference with the imaging.
