What is the DICOM modality abbreviation of a device for chest X-rays?

[Tamás Sipos]

When creating an entry on the modality worklist for a chest X-ray, what should I put into Modality (0008,0060)?

DICOM officially defines these types (see C.7.3.1.1.1 Modality) and I cannot find a suitable one.

Based on Wikipedia I thought it might be CXR, but there is none.

Is there even an abbreviation for X-ray in general? I cannot even find that.

It depends of the SOP Class of the created instances. Should be Digital X-Ray (DX) for not too old devices.
