The X-ray Chest – PA (posteroanterior) view is an imaging test utilizing X-rays to examine structures and organs within the chest. This diagnostic procedure aids in detecting lung and heart issues, offering visualization of internal organs such as the esophagus and diaphragm. The test is particularly performed to identify chest wall bone injuries or fractures, diagnose lung conditions like pneumonia, and assess underlying heart diseases, including heart enlargement. Despite the comprehensive information obtained, the exposure time to radiation is typically brief, often lasting less than a second, making the overall test duration approximately 15-20 minutes.
