Overview

Lung pathologies usually cause hypoxia and confusion if left untreated. A chest x ray is the most important tool to evaluate such conditions. It can be very helpful in identifying various lung lesions and infections.

Chest X Ray

Lung pathologies like respiratory failure, respiratory depression, and infections are one of the main causes of confusion. A chest x ray aids in the diagnosis of these conditions. It is useful to identify co morbid condition even if the cause of confusion is not primarily from the lung. It has a significant role to play in elderly individuals admitted to the hospital.
