X-rays can be prescribed for a number of reasons. The chest X-ray is the most commonly performed diagnostic X-ray examination. A chest X-ray makes images of the heart, lungs, airway, blood vessels and the bones of the spine and chest.

An X-ray (radiograph) is a painless medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. When you have any X-ray, your body is exposed to a small dose of ionizing radiation, which generates pictures of the inside of the body. Once the machine is aimed at the part of the body in question, a small burst of radiation passes through the body and records an image on photographic film or a special image recording plate.

Different parts of the body absorb the X-rays in various degrees. Dense bone absorbs much of the radiation while soft tissue, such as muscle, fat and organs, allow more of the X-rays to pass through them. As a result, bones appear white on the X-ray, soft tissue shows up in shades of gray and air appears black. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.

Women are advised to let their radiologist in New Jersey know if they are pregnant before having a chest X-ray or other X-ray.
