A member asked:

My doctor ordered x-ray, 1 pa lat. is it ok to take the x-ray at a primary care clinic? instead of radiologist? because there's no proper radio ologist near my place?

Most primary care doctors are qualified to read their own x-rays, regardless of where they are taken. Hospital facilities generally require the most highly trained staff make the final decision on films. This avoids the occasional missed problem.

This is not unusual, and a chest X-ray is a routine procedure. Most physicians can do over-reads and most will not miss any prominent findings. I think you will find this to be very satisfactory.
