Chest SPOT Xray
Chest Spot X-ray
Description:
A Chest Spot X-ray is a focused radiographic examination of a specific area of the chest, typically used to assess localized issues such as a small region of concern in the lungs, heart, or ribs. Unlike a standard chest X-ray, which provides a full view of the chest, the spot X-ray targets a smaller area for more detailed imaging, helping to diagnose or monitor conditions like infections, tumors, or trauma in a specific part of the chest.
Common Uses:
Identifying localized lung conditions (such as pneumonia or tumors)
Assessing rib fractures or abnormalities
Evaluating heart size or specific heart conditions
Monitoring previously identified issues in a specific region of the chest
Investigating localized chest pain or breathing difficulties
Preparation:
No special preparation is generally required. Patients may be asked to remove clothing or accessories that could interfere with the X-ray image.
Duration:
5–10 minutes
Radiation Level:
Low (localized imaging)
