The X - Ray Chest PA View test is a common, painless, and non-invasive imaging test used to produce images of lungs, airways, heart, blood vessels, and the bones of the spine and chest from the back (posterior) to the front (anterior) of your chest area. It helps doctors detect infections, lung diseases, or heart conditions. It is available at an affordable price in Vellore with our partnered labs.

This test is recommended to diagnose and monitor various respiratory and cardiovascular conditions. It is commonly used to investigate the cause of symptoms such as persistent cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain. It can help diagnose lung infections such as pneumonia and tuberculosis, assess chronic lung diseases(e.g., COPD) and lung tumors, and evaluate heart size or fluid accumulation around the heart. Additionally, it is often done after chest injuries to identify potential fractures and complications. 

For this test, wear loose and comfortable clothing and remove any metal objects, such as jewelry. Inform your doctor or technician if you have a pacemaker or are pregnant to discuss safety precautions and alternative imaging options.
