Chest X-Ray?
Question:  If I had surgery like 6 months ago and go for a chest x-ray... will they be able to tell I had surgery?  What can a chest x-ray see? Any information would be helpfull.  Thanks!

Re: Chest X-Ray?
In general, a routine chest X-ray will only show your bones and your lungs.  It is not designed to look at whether there is breast tissue there or not.  If you had gyne surgery six months ago, there will be absolutely no evidence of it on your chest x-ray.
