Can a chest xray pa and lateral see lung tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If big enough, not always though, best test is a CT chest in identifying an early lung tumor. Many times a tumor is missed because of another process, such as pneumonia and repeat X-rays after pneumonia clears may identify remaining changes as a tumor.
