One of the most common imaging performed is chest radiology, which is done using X-rays. This is a poster anterior (PA) radiograph of the chest. In this photography, these organs are exposed to X-rays and pictures are taken. This photography is painless and it is only necessary for the patient to be in a standing position and the X-ray will pass through his body and the person will not feel anything at this moment. In some special cases or to examine some areas, photography may be done while sitting or lying down. In addition to being non-invasive and cost-effective, this method can provide useful information about the patient's clinical condition to the medical staff. Talk to your doctor about the possibility of pregnancy before taking an X-ray test. Because of the risk of X-ray radiation to the baby (fetus), radiography is usually not recommended during pregnancy. Of course, the possibility of harming the fetus is very small. In many cases, an abdominal ultrasound is usually used instead of an X-ray. If you need a chest X-ray, you can use a lead apron to protect the baby. You must remove any jewelry that may be in the path of the X-ray image.
