Wrist AP L OB Xray
Wrist AP & Lateral Oblique X-ray
Description:
A Wrist AP (Anteroposterior) and Lateral Oblique X-ray is a radiographic examination that provides multiple views of the wrist joint, including the distal radius and ulna, carpal bones, and surrounding structures. The AP view shows the front-to-back alignment, while the lateral oblique angle offers a more detailed look at the joint spaces and bone contours. This combination of views helps in accurately diagnosing various wrist conditions.
Common Uses:
Detecting wrist fractures or dislocations
Evaluating joint alignment and bone abnormalities
Assessing arthritis or degenerative changes
Investigating wrist pain, swelling, or trauma
Monitoring healing of previously identified injuries
Preparation:
No special preparation is needed. The patient may be asked to remove jewelry or metal objects from the wrist area.
Duration:
5–10 minutes
Radiation Level:
Low
