What is Chest X-ray (single view)? Read the full explainer →

Chest X-ray (single view)

This is a chest X-ray taken as one image rather than two. It is the version used at the bedside, in urgent care, and for quick checks such as confirming where a tube or line sits. One view answers coarse questions well; anything hidden behind the heart or the spine can be missed.
