How true is it that the lung x-ray examination result expires or is not valid after 2 weeks? just heard from a clinic conducting an x-ray test
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Not sure what they are referring to when they say expire. Once the x-ray has been taken it is what it is. Your lungs may change within hours after the x-ray is taken, rendering the prior film invalid for medical purposes, but it still stands on its own. Hope I have explained this ok.
