What Are the Limitations of Chest X-Rays in Cancer Detection?
Chest X-rays have some limitations, including:
- Limited Sensitivity: Small tumors or early-stage cancers may not be visible on a chest X-ray. - Overlapping Structures: Other anatomical structures can obscure or mimic cancer, leading to false positives or negatives. - Lack of Detail: X-rays provide less detailed images compared to other imaging modalities like CT or MRI.
