Know more about this test

An X-Ray Right Hip Joint LAT View is a non-invasive, painless test that uses a small amount of radiation to visualise the pelvis, the bones of the hip joint, and the soft tissues (skin and muscles) around it. The image takes on a specially developed X-ray film. The X-ray picture is black and white.

The actual radiation exposure period is often less than a second, while the entire test may take between 15-20 minutes.

Right Hip Joint LAT View X-Ray identifies any fractures of the bones that make up the hip joint and monitors the healing of the broken bone after it has been set. Detects infection, osteoporosis, abnormalities, or irregular bone development and diagnoses suspected osteoarthritis or hip dislocation.

FAQs related to X - Ray Right Hip Joint LAT View in Bhubaneshwar

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.
