FAQs

What is an X-Ray Left Hand AP & Lateral?

X-Ray Left Hand AP & Lateral is a diagnostic imaging examination that captures two views of the left hand: a front (AP) view and a side (Lateral) view.

Why is this X-ray performed?

It is performed to evaluate left hand pain, trauma, suspected fractures, dislocations, arthritis, bone deformities, joint abnormalities, and other conditions affecting the hand.

Which structures are examined during the test?

The examination visualizes the phalanges (finger bones), metacarpal bones, carpal (wrist) bones, metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, interphalangeal (IP) joints, carpometacarpal (CMC) joints, and surrounding bony structures.

Why are both AP and Lateral views important?

Both views provide complementary information, helping detect fractures, dislocations, joint alignment abnormalities, bone deformities, and degenerative changes that may not be fully visible on a single view.

Can this X-ray detect fractures?

Yes. It is commonly used to identify fractures of the finger bones, metacarpals, and carpal bones, particularly following injury or trauma.
