X - Ray Maxilla AP View near me in Thane

An X-ray of the maxilla (upper jaw) is a safe and painless test to visualise a pair of maxillary bones using small amount of radiation. The two maxillary bones of the either side of the face join in the midline and form the middle third of the face. The image is recorded on a special X-ray film. The X-ray image is black and white. Dense structures such as the bones, appear white and softer body tissues, such as the skin and muscles appear darker. The actual exposure time to radiation is usually less than a second, although the overall test may take 15-20 minutes.
