It costs about 70~140 dollars to take a chest X-ray. Different parts of the body will be charged differently, and the related costs will also vary among hospitals in different regions, with large hospitals generally being slightly more expensive than township hospitals. Generally speaking, the main purpose of taking chest radiographs is to find out whether there is any obvious inflammation, tuberculosis or tumors in the lungs, whether the mediastinum is shifted, whether the trachea and bronchus are in a central position, and whether the heart is abnormally enlarged. A complete chest radiograph includes two parts, i.e. chest orthopantomograph and chest lateral radiograph, and the price for a single side is usually around $70, so if a complete chest radiograph is taken, it will cost around $140. It is recommended to consult your local hospital for specific prices in detail.
