Digital X-ray of Chest AP & Lateral View Price in Bangladesh

What is Digital X-ray of Chest AP & Lateral View?

A Digital X-Ray of the Chest in AP (Anteroposterior) and Lateral Views provides a comprehensive assessment of the lungs, heart, and surrounding structures. The AP view captures the chest from the front, helping to identify conditions like lung infections, tumors, heart enlargement, or fluid buildup.

The Lateral view offers a side perspective, which can reveal abnormalities not visible in the AP view, such as lesions, pleural effusions, or spine issues. This combination of views is essential for diagnosing respiratory, cardiac, and skeletal conditions.

The procedure is quick, involves minimal preparation, and uses low radiation exposure due to digital X-ray technology.

What to expect & how to prepare

An X-ray takes a picture of bones or chest structures in a few seconds. A radiographer positions you, asks you to hold still and briefly hold your breath for chest views. Nothing is injected.

• Eat and drink normally: a plain X-ray needs no diet restriction before your appointment.
• Metal: remove jewellery, coins, belts and clothing with zips or hooks over the area, or change into a gown as advised.
• Positioning: you may be asked to stand, sit or lie in a specific position — for weight-bearing views you will stand on the affected limb.
• Bring earlier films: previous X-rays of the same area help with comparison.

A plain X-ray uses a small dose of ionising radiation. Tell the radiographer before the exposure if you are pregnant or think you might be.

Taken by a radiographer and reported by a radiologist; bring the doctor's advice that requested it.
