About this test

A chest X-ray is the standard first image for a persistent cough, fever or breathlessness, and is required for most pre-employment and visa medicals. It shows the lungs, heart size and the bones of the chest wall.

What it measures

  • Lung fields, showing infection, fluid and masses
  • Heart size and outline
  • Diaphragm and costophrenic angles
  • Ribs, clavicles and spine

A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
