Chest X-Ray
Chest X-ray of the heart, lungs and bones
Having a chest X-ray is a painless procedure. A technologist will position X-ray film next to your chest while an X-ray machine sends small beams of X-rays that pass through the chest to create the image on the film. X-rays may be taken at various angles.
