X - Ray Left Lower Ribs AP in New Delhi

X-Ray Left lower Ribs AP test is a imaging technique used to capture anteroposterior (from front to back) images of the lower ribs (9-12). It can detect infections, tumours, rib fractures, the outline of the major blood vessels, size and shape of the lower ribs, and constricted arteries.

Your doctor may advise you to take an X-ray of the left side lower ribs AP when you met with an accident or fractured your rib bone. While the X-ray treatment itself is safe and painless, but you may have some discomfort if you had recent surgery or an injury. The overall test may take 15-20 minutes. You will be asked to wear a gown, remove any clothing and jewellery for the test.
