What does chest X-ray mean

Chest X-ray is a chest X-ray examination, which is also called chest fluoroscopy. It is a more traditional health check-up item. Through X-rays, you can see the soft tissue, heart, blood vessels, and trachea of ​​the chest. Some congenital lung diseases can be detected through chest X-ray.

The main feature of chest X-ray is that it can observe the function and operation of organs, regardless of the angle direction or body position changes. This is a relatively common method of chest dialysis, but chest dialysis also has its shortcomings, that is, the image is not clear, and the irradiation time is relatively long. The patient is also exposed to relatively large amounts of radiation, and this radiation also affects doctors. Now many hospitals no longer do chest X-rays, CT and chest X-rays have replaced chest X-rays, and this examination is not included in routine examination items.

Chest X-ray is different from chest X-ray. The two examination methods are different, and the forms presented are also different. The amount of radiation caused to the human body is also very different. Chest X-ray can be used as a physical examination item once a year. The radiation to the human body is relatively small and will not affect human health. Therefore, chest X-ray examination has now replaced chest X-ray.

The X-rays emitted by one chest X-ray are equivalent to 10 chest X-rays. Nowadays, chest X-rays are a common routine examination item, while chest X-rays are not among the routine examination items.
