PORTABLE XRAY CXR AP & OBLIQUE Price in Bangladesh

What is PORTABLE XRAY CXR AP & OBLIQUE?

A portable X-ray of the chest (CXR) AP (anteroposterior) & Oblique is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the chest, including the lungs, heart, ribs, and other thoracic structures. In the ""AP"" view, the X-ray beam passes from the front to the back of the body, while the oblique view is taken at an angle, typically around 45 degrees, to provide a different perspective of the chest.

This combined approach helps detect conditions such as lung infections, pneumonia, heart abnormalities, rib fractures, or tumors. It is often performed in emergency settings or for patients unable to be transported to a stationary X-ray facility.

The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and requires no special preparation.

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.
