On-site imaging of your heart and lungs — no second trip, no waiting.
A chest X-ray gives Dr. Kalafatic a direct look at the size and shape of your heart, the state of your lungs, and the vessels in your chest. It is a cornerstone of cardiac evaluation — quick, painless, and performed with a very low dose of radiation. Chest X-rays help identify an enlarged heart, fluid around the heart or in the lungs (a common sign of heart failure), and other conditions that can mimic or accompany heart disease. Because we image on site, results feed directly into your evaluation the same day.
Heart size and lung congestion are critical clues in diagnosing heart failure and other conditions — and an X-ray shows them immediately.
