A member asked:
Are there good ways to get a chest x-ray for positive tb test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Imaging center: Your doctor should have given you a referral slip for the chest xray. They may have a particular imaging place they want you to go to, but you can go to almost any imaging center or hospital. Most positive TB test chest x-rays will be normal so try not to worry too much until you have your results.
