X - Ray Chest Right Oblique View near me in Chennai

The oblique view of the chest is a unique projection used to evaluate the posterior ribs, eosophagus, lesions (that are shown in PA but not clearly visible in lateral) and lesion’s origin. This test is done to separately view pulmonary and mediastinal mass. If this posture is challenging for trauma patients, they may need to be elevated.

Your doctor may suggest you to take an X-ray of the chest Rt oblique view when you have breathing issue, lesion suspected, or fracture of lung bone. While taking the X-ray itself is safe and painless, but you may have some discomfort if you had recent surgery or an injury. The overall test may take 15-20 minutes. You will be asked to wear a gown, remove any clothing and jewellery for the test.
