Why X-Ray Chest PA/LAT is Important
A Chest X-Ray PA/LAT is crucial because it serves as the first step in evaluating patients with breathing difficulties, persistent cough, chest pain, or fever. This test helps detect a variety of conditions, such as:
-
Pneumonia or lung infections
-
Tuberculosis
-
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
-
Heart enlargement (cardiomegaly)
-
Rib fractures or chest trauma
-
Fluid accumulation or pleural effusion
Regular use of PA and Lateral views allows doctors to study both the front and side perspectives, making it easier to locate underlying problems that may not be visible in a single view. Patients in Karad prefer Diagnopein for prompt, accurate, and reliable chest X-ray services recommended by top physicians.

How X-Ray Chest PA/LAT Testing Is Performed
The Chest X-Ray PA/LAT procedure at Diagnopein is simple, safe, and convenient:
-
The patient stands facing the X-Ray detector for the PA view, holding breath momentarily.
-
For the LAT view, the patient turns sideways, allowing a lateral image capture.
-
The radiographer ensures correct positioning and exposure for best results.
-
Digital images are processed instantly for radiologist review.
Results are typically available the same day. Our team in Karad ensures a comfortable environment, following all safety standards and using lead aprons when necessary to reduce radiation exposure.
Parameters and Diagnostic Evaluation
A radiologist carefully analyses several parameters on the X-Ray Chest PA/LAT, including:
-
Lung clarity and structure
-
Heart size and shape
-
Diaphragm position and movement
-
Rib and bone alignment
-
Air or fluid in pleural spaces
These insights allow for early identification of diseases, guiding further treatment or investigations like CT scans, if required.
