Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that if you have cured earlier for TB you do not have to worry. It is usually the procedure that they are taking the x-ray from both the side. It is believed in medical science that some organs are better looked when x-ray is taken from the back side. So from taking x-ray from back side wont affect your medical fitness examination for saudi. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
