A Chest X-Ray (CXR) is the most commonly performed imaging study, used to evaluate the lungs, heart, ribs, diaphragm, and great vessels. It is the first-line investigation for cough, fever, breathlessness, chest pain, and trauma and is also used for tuberculosis screening, pre-employment medicals, and pre-operative workup. Modern digital systems use very low radiation doses. Available 24×7 at our Goregaon West centre.

| Parameter | What It Measures | Reference Range |
|---|---|---|
| Lung Fields | Clarity, infiltrates, masses | Clear / abnormal |
| Cardiac Silhouette | Heart size — cardiothoracic ratio | < 50% (normal) |
| Pleural Spaces | Effusion, pneumothorax | No fluid / air |
| Bones | Ribs, clavicles, vertebrae | Intact |
| Diaphragm | Position, fluid below | Domed |
| Mediastinum | Heart, vessels, trachea | Normal width |
Clear lung fields, normal heart size, intact bones, and clear pleural spaces represent a normal chest X-ray. Continue routine yearly screening if you have risk factors.
Findings such as consolidation, cavities, effusion, masses, or cardiomegaly need clinical correlation and often follow-up imaging or specialist review. Your physician will correlate with symptoms and history.
Every report is reviewed by an experienced pathologist with clear interpretation and clinical comment.
