X-ray radiography is the first noninvasive diagnostic technique available to the humanity. Since its inception it has been updated significantly, more modern and safer X-ray machines appeared, but its operation concept has not changed. Organs and tissues are examined with X-rays, and the projected 2D image is plotted on the special film or paper.
X-ray radiography is the fastest and the simplest method to perform that allows to see changes in tissue structure of the examined organ and in thus to make a conclusion about its condition and the presence of eventual diseases.
Lung X-ray is the most common screening method of diagnostics that is recommended to everybody once in three years. Every so often X-ray radiography gives the information on a suspected disease that becomes a signal and a reason for further more detailed diagnostics.
