Know more about this test

X-Ray Left Wrist AP and LAT Views is a safe test used to visualize all the bones of the left wrist joint, soft tissues, skin and muscle, and the forearm bones. This is done to diagnose any fracture of the bones, detect any abnormal growths, infections, swelling, or dislocation of joints. Orthopedics often recommend this view before performing the wrist surgery to plan the operation. This X-Ray can also detect healing post-surgery.

Your doctor may suggest you take this test if you have met with an accident or have pain in the wrist bone. While the X-Ray itself is safe and painless, you may experience discomfort if you had recent surgery or an injury. The overall test may take 15-20 minutes.

FAQs related to X - Ray Left Wrist AP & LAT Views in Faizabad

What are the drawbacks of a bone X-ray?

X-ray images give a very clear view of the bones. However, it does not provide a good visual image of the soft tissues like tendons, muscles or fat tissue under the skin. Even the bone microfractures or complicated spine injuries are not clearly visible on the X Ray images. Apart from this, it also exposes the patient to some amount of radiations but the benefit of the information gained from an X-ray image outweighs the risk of radiations.

Who interprets the X-ray results?

The interpretation of an X-Ray image is carried out by a radiologist who analyses or reads the X-ray image and prepares a report of the findings which is shared with the patient.
