The X-Ray – Chest OBL (Oblique View) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that provides an angled perspective of the chest. This view is taken by positioning the patient at a slight rotation, allowing clearer visualization of structures that may overlap in standard frontal or lateral views.

The oblique view is particularly useful for evaluating ribs, lung fields, and specific areas of the chest that require detailed assessment. It helps in detecting subtle fractures, lesions, or abnormalities that might not be clearly visible in routine chest X-rays.

It is quick, non-invasive, and plays an important role in identifying localized chest conditions and injuries.
