The standard chest radiograph is acquired with the patient standing up, and with the X-ray beam passing through the patient from Posterior to Anterior (PA). The chest X-ray image produced is viewed as if looking at the patient from the front, face-to-face.
What is a PA in xrays?
A periapical (PA)X-ray refers to a single X-ray that is taken to show a specific area of concern. If you have a tooth ache, your dentist is likely to recommend a PA film to see that whole tooth including the root.
What is PA and LAT?
The general examination for chest is PA (posterior anterior) and the lateral (LAT) chest X-ray. Both films are read together for a proper analysis. The PA exam is done in the view of the patient as if standing with their right side towards your left side. While in the lateral view they face to their left side.
