X-RAY CHEST LT LATERAL
₹500
The lateral chest view can be particularly useful in assessing the retrosternal and retrocardiac airspaces. If locating a specific pulmonary opacity within the chest cavity, it would be useful for requesting doctors to mention side in their clinical notes. This allows radiographers to image with the side of interest. Otherwise, a left lateral view is the default and preferred side as it demonstrates better anatomical detail of the heart.
