Chest Radiography
X-ray for chest injury
Chest radiography (imaging and X-rays) is used to monitor the health of workers in settings where they are at risk of developing lung diseases, such as pneumoconiosis (from inhalation of asbestos fibers, silica particles, or coal dust) as well as other occupational respiratory disorders.
A chest X-ray is a picture of the chest, lungs, heart, large arteries, ribs, and diaphragm, and it is the most common imaging test or X-ray used to identify problems inside the chest. A technician may perform a chest X-ray for chest injuries sustained in the workplace, and to diagnose various respiratory and lung conditions. Routine, easily accessible chest radiography services combined with on-site compliance and training can help protect the health of your employees and provide safer working conditions. Chest X-rays can aid in the prevention of respiratory conditions that can occur in the workplace through early detection and treatment.
