1. CHEST X-RAY DIAGNOSIS Name – K aranveer GROUP NO. – 41 8

2. Chest X-Ray chest X-ray uses a focused beam of radiation to look at your heart, lungs and bones. Healthcare providers use chest X-rays to diagnose or treat conditions like pneumonia, emphysema or COPD. Chest X-rays are quick, noninvasive tests. Usually, you’ll know the results of your X-ray within one to two days.

3. What can a chest X-ray diagnose? Chest X-rays help healthcare providers diagnose issues that cause symptoms in your heart or lungs. Some of these symptoms include: Chest pain . Chronic cough . Difficulty breathing ( dyspnea ). Fever  with other signs of infection.

4. Your healthcare provider may also recommend a chest X-ray to diagnose or monitor certain health conditions, including: Congestive heart failure . Emphysema  or  chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) . Lung cancer . Pneumonia . Tuberculosis  (TB). Ribcage injuries .

5. Test Details How do I prepare for a chest X-ray (CXR)? Chest X-rays require little to no preparation. When you get ready for your appointment, wear loose, comfortable clothing that doesn’t contain metal (zippers, snaps, bra closures) and leave jewelry at home. If you have body piercings, ask your X-ray center for specific instructions. Body jewelry can interfere with clear images. You may need to remove them.

6. What do my results mean? A  normal chest X-ray  shows clear lungs, a healthy heart and a clearly outlined chest cavity. There are no visible nodules,  tumors  or masses. An  abnormal chest X-ray  can highlight atypical characteristics like an  enlarged heart , fluid buildup in your lungs,  broken ribs , cysts, masses and other irregularities. If you get abnormal results, your provider may recommend additional tests (like a  CT scan  or  PET scan ) for more information.

7. When should I call my doctor? Let your healthcare provider know if you have: Chest injury (if you think you have a broken rib, for instance). Chest pain that doesn’t go away. Chronic coughing. Difficulty breathing.
