Chest X-Ray, Two Views

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 71046

An X-ray of the chest taken from two different angles, typically front and side, to give a fuller view of the lungs, heart, and surrounding structures than a single image alone. It's commonly used to evaluate symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain, and to check for pneumonia or other lung and heart problems. The extra angle helps show structures that might be hidden behind others in a single view.
