Service Providers for Digital X-Ray of Sternum Lateral View
A Digital X-Ray of the Sternum in the Lateral view is used to examine the sternum (breastbone) and adjacent structures for fractures, abnormalities, or diseases. In this procedure, the X-ray beam is directed from the side of the chest, providing a clear side profile of the sternum. The patient is typically asked to stand or lie on their side, ensuring proper positioning. No special preparation is needed, but any metal objects should be removed. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and exposes the patient to minimal radiation. A radiologist interprets the results to check for issues such as fractures or tumors.
