Know more about this test

An X-Ray Chest Oblique View is a safe test that enables visualisation of the structures of the chest wall, including the breastbone, shoulder blade, collarbone, ribs, and surrounding muscles. Additionally, it aids in visualizing the internal organs of the chest, such as the airways, lungs, food pipe, heart, and diaphragm.

The image is black and white. The actual radiation exposure period is often less than a second. However, the entire exam may take between 15-20 minutes.

The test identifies injuries or fractures of the chest wall bones (collarbone, breastbone, ribs, and shoulder blade) as well as some lung disorders such as infections, abnormal growth (tumors), or pneumothorax and also identify any food pipe abnormalities, such as infections, inflammations, or abnormal growth.

What are the drawbacks of a bone X-ray?

X-ray images give a very clear view of the bones. However, it does not provide a good visual image of the soft tissues like tendons, muscles or fat tissue under the skin. Even the bone microfractures or complicated spine injuries are not clearly visible on the X Ray images. Apart from this, it also exposes the patient to some amount of radiations but the benefit of the information gained from an X-ray image outweighs the risk of radiations.

Who interprets the X-ray results?

The interpretation of an X-Ray image is carried out by a radiologist who analyses or reads the X-ray image and prepares a report of the findings which is shared with the patient.
