X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light. However, x-rays have higher energy and can pass through most objects, including the body. This x-ray is used to generate HD images of the chest.
This test may be performed to help diagnose infections, tumors, and fractures, investigate internal bleeding, or check for other internal injuries or damage.
