Hand AP/L Xray
Hand AP & Lateral X-ray
Description:
A Hand AP and Lateral X-ray provides two standard views of the hand, including the bones of the fingers, metacarpals, and wrist. The AP view shows the hand from the front, while the lateral view captures it from the side. These images help evaluate fractures, arthritis, or other abnormalities in the hand bones and joints.
Common Uses:
Detecting fractures or dislocations in the hand or fingers
Evaluating arthritis or degenerative joint diseases (such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis)
Identifying bone infections or tumors
Assessing hand deformities or abnormalities
Post-surgical or post-trauma evaluation
Preparation:
No special preparation is required. Patients may need to remove jewelry or any metallic items from the hand area.
Duration:
5–10 minutes
Radiation Level:
Low (standard for extremity imaging)
