    "description": "Plain X-rays of the ribs on one side of the chest, taken from several angles, together with a straight-on chest film in the same sitting. The added chest view is what separates this from the simpler one-sided rib study: it is there to catch a collapsed lung, a collection of blood, or a lung bruise sitting behind the broken rib, since those complications matter more than the fracture itself. Separate codes cover rib studies of both sides.",
