FAQs

What is an X-Ray Right Wrist AP & Lateral?

X-Ray Right Wrist AP & Lateral is a diagnostic imaging examination that captures two views of the right wrist: an Anteroposterior (AP) view from the front and a Lateral view from the side.

Why is this X-ray performed?

It is performed to evaluate right wrist pain, injuries, fractures, dislocations, arthritis, swelling, and other abnormalities affecting the wrist.

Which structures are examined during the test?

The examination visualizes the distal radius, distal ulna, carpal (wrist) bones, bases of the metacarpals, wrist joints, and surrounding bony structures.

Why are both AP and Lateral views important?

The two views provide complementary perspectives of the wrist, improving the detection of fractures, dislocations, joint misalignment, and other abnormalities that may not be visible on a single view.

Is the procedure painful?

No. The X-ray itself is painless, although positioning may cause temporary discomfort if your wrist is injured or painful.
