Chest X-Ray, Two Views

Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 71020

A chest X-ray taken from two directions — one straight through from front to back and one from the side. The side view adds depth, so anything hidden behind the heart, the diaphragm or the collarbones on the straight-on picture can still be seen. It is the standard chest examination for cough, breathlessness, chest pain or fever.
