About X-Ray: Both Scaphoid AP, Lateral & Oblique Views
A Scaphoid AP, Lateral & Oblique X-ray of both wrists is a specialized X-ray that will provide three body views of the scaphoid bones. The AP view is a front view, the Lateral view is a profile view, and the Oblique view is a slanted view for better visualization. Collectively, these views give an overview of the scaphoid bones, the carpal bones, the wrist joints, the distal (end) parts of the radius and ulna, and the surrounding bones. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy's high-resolution digital radiography (DR) systems are used to determine the extent of wrist injuries and musculoskeletal diseases with precision.
