Why X Ray Chest Lateral (One Film) is Important
The X Ray Chest Lateral (one film) exam helps visualize the lungs, heart, aorta, and space behind the sternum with greater precision. It provides a clear view of hidden areas, helping detect conditions like:
-
Lung infections or pneumonia
-
Pleural effusion (fluid around the lungs)
-
Tumors, nodules, or masses
-
Fractures of ribs or spine
-
Heart enlargement or abnormalities
-
Diaphragm evaluation
Doctors often recommend this test when a single front-view X-ray is not sufficient to fully examine the chest organs. At Diagnopein Karad, our radiologists interpret these images with utmost accuracy and care.

How the X Ray Chest Lateral (One Film) Test is Done

The technician positions you sideways (lateral posture) facing one side of the X-ray machine.
