A PA (posteroanterior) chest radiograph is an X-ray image taken from the front of the chest, with the X-ray beam passing through the body from back to front. A lateral chest radiograph is an X-ray image taken from the side of the chest, with the X-ray beam passing from one side of the body to the other. These imaging studies are used to visualize the heart, lungs, and other structures within the chest cavity.

What is a pa lateral view?
A PA lateral view, or posteroanterior lateral view, is a type of radiographic imaging used primarily in chest X-rays. In this view, the X-ray beam passes from the back (posterior) to the front (anterior) of the body while the patient is positioned sideways. This orientation helps in visualizing the structures of the chest, including the lungs, heart, and surrounding tissues, providing crucial information for diagnosing various medical conditions. It is often used in conjunction with other views for a comprehensive assessment.
