FAQs

What is an X-Ray Both Wrist AP?

X-Ray Both Wrist AP is a diagnostic imaging examination that captures front-view (Anteroposterior or AP) X-ray images of both wrists using low-dose X-ray radiation. It helps evaluate the bones, joints, and overall alignment of both wrists.

Why is this examination performed?

It is commonly performed to evaluate wrist pain, trauma, suspected fractures, arthritis, degenerative joint disease, congenital abnormalities, bone lesions, infections, and other conditions affecting one or both wrists.

Can this X-ray detect fractures?

Yes. It is commonly used to identify fractures of the distal radius, distal ulna, carpal bones, and other wrist bones.

Can it detect arthritis?

Yes. It can reveal signs of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint space narrowing, bone spurs (osteophytes), and other degenerative changes.

Can it detect dislocations?

Yes. It can identify joint dislocations, abnormal bone alignment, and carpal instability, although additional views may sometimes be required.

Is the procedure painful?

No. The X-ray itself is painless. However, positioning may cause temporary discomfort if you have a recent wrist injury or significant pain.
