Hello,
With the question “Why does a chest X-ray have to take a deep breath before holding your breath? ", the doctor answered as follows:
When taking a chest X-ray, you must inhale deeply to increase lung volume for better examination and need to hold your breath to avoid image noise when taking movies.
If you still have questions about taking a chest X-ray, you have to take a deep breath before holding your breath, you can go to a medical facility under Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
