Although the cancer if can be detected since the early stages, the disease can be cured. Even at an advanced stage, the cancer can be just a chronic illness. In other words, you will need treatment to control that disease. So the cancer is no longer a fatal disease which leaves only a few months but can be treated for a live longer.

Chest x-ray is a routine examination for Medical Check-up in Clinic or Hospital. This examination is using x-ray radiation. The benefit of doing chest x-ray is bigger than the radiation exposure we absorbed.
Almost the disease or abnormality of chest can be detected by this diagnostic procedure.
For a mother or family, please don’t be worried about this examination and to be noticed that much radiation exposure we receive a day is also avoided. To decrease of radiation effects, please follow the instructions from Radiographer/ X-Ray Technician if x-ray procedure is being done. Any moving of the patient will be repeated because the x-ray image we create will blur which causes the Radiologist is difficult to interpret the x-ray film especially for chest x-ray.
