Leg Apl Xray
Leg AP & Lateral X-ray (APL View)
Description:
A Leg AP (Anteroposterior) and Lateral X-ray provides two standard views of the lower leg, including the tibia, fibula, and surrounding soft tissues. The AP view shows the leg from front to back, while the lateral view captures it from the side. These views are essential for a comprehensive evaluation of injuries or abnormalities in the lower leg.
Common Uses:
Detecting fractures or bone deformities in the tibia and fibula
Evaluating leg pain, swelling, or trauma
Monitoring bone healing after a fracture
Identifying signs of infection, tumors, or other bone pathologies
Pre- and post-operative orthopedic assessment
Preparation:
No specific preparation is needed. Patients may be asked to remove any clothing or accessories that could interfere with the imaging.
Duration:
5–10 minutes
Radiation Level:
Low (routine for limb imaging)
