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.
What is an X-Ray Both Scaphoid AP, Lateral & Oblique Views?
X-Ray Both Scaphoid AP, Lateral & Oblique Views is an image study of the wrist joint(s) and the scaphoid bones of both hands, which is quick, painless, and non-invasive. The multiple projections allow the physician to assess the alignment of the bones, detect fractures, evaluate joint abnormalities, and evaluate degenerative/post-traumatic changes. Patients with wrist pain/tenderness over the scaphoid area, trauma, swelling, and/or limited wrist mobility would benefit from this examination.

X-Ray Both Scaphoid AP, Lateral & Oblique Views के लिए किसी विशेष तैयारी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।
ऐसे आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें जिनसे दोनों हाथों और कलाई की जांच आसानी से की जा सके।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो X-ray जांच से पहले रेडियोलॉजी स्टाफ को अवश्य बताएं।
दोनों हाथों और कलाई से घड़ी, अंगूठी, कंगन, चूड़ी या अन्य धातु की वस्तुएं हटा दें, क्योंकि ये इमेज की गुणवत्ता को प्रभावित कर सकती हैं।
यदि पहले कलाई में फ्रैक्चर, सर्जरी, इम्प्लांट, प्लास्टर या अन्य ऑर्थोपेडिक उपचार हुआ है, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर या रेडियोलॉजी तकनीशियन को दें।
यदि उपलब्ध हो, तो पिछली X-ray, CT, MRI रिपोर्ट या संबंधित ऑर्थोपेडिक मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लेकर आएं ताकि आवश्यकता पड़ने पर तुलना की जा सके।
स्पष्ट AP, Lateral एवं Oblique Views प्राप्त करने के लिए रेडियोलॉजी तकनीशियन के निर्देशों का पालन करें।
इमेज लेते समय स्थिर रहें ताकि स्पष्ट और उच्च गुणवत्ता वाली इमेज प्राप्त हो सके।
पंजीकरण और जांच प्रक्रिया के लिए निर्धारित समय से 10–15 मिनट पहले पहुंचें।
The patient is positioned appropriately to obtain the required Anteroposterior (AP), Lateral, and Oblique views of both scaphoid bones and wrists.
The radiology technician carefully positions each wrist to capture detailed images of the scaphoid bones, carpal bones, distal radius, distal ulna, wrist joints, and surrounding bony structures.
A modern digital X-ray system captures high-resolution images using a controlled amount of radiation.
The patient may be asked to keep the hands and wrists completely still while each projection is taken to prevent motion blur.
Multiple images are obtained from different angles to provide a comprehensive assessment of both wrists and scaphoid bones.
The examination is quick, painless, non-invasive, and is generally completed within a few minutes.
The radiologist reviews the images to evaluate scaphoid fractures, wrist fractures, joint alignment abnormalities, osteoarthritis, bone lesions, and post-traumatic or post-surgical changes.
After detailed image analysis, the final report is generally available within 04 hours.
