Question 9

On a chest X-ray, what is the PA view?

Accepted Answer

On the PA view, the heart appears smaller and has sharper edges. The reason for this is that the patient’s chest (anterior) is against the x-ray film, and the beam enters from the back (P) to the front (A), therefore the acronym “PA.”
