About X-Ray Both Upper Femur (Hip) AP & Lateral Views
An X-ray Both Upper Femur (hips), AP and lateral, is an X-ray of a more advanced level of the upper part (neck to the head) of the thigh bone (femur) and both hip joints. The two views provide a close-up view of the femur, and one can examine the femoral head, the femoral neck, the hip socket (acetabulum), the nearby bones, and the space in the joint. Compared to the other hips, both hips are usually looked at, so that if there is any slight variance noticed, it will be much easier to observe, and an asymmetry will be more noticeable. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy's advanced digital imaging systems offer superb resolution, enabling doctors to accurately assess orthopedic conditions.
What is an X-Ray of Both Upper Femurs (Hip) AP & Lateral Views?
The lumbar spine can be easily and quickly visualized in two hips without needles or pain. The doctor takes an X-ray from the frontmost side (the anterior or AP view) and from the side (the lateral or side-on view) for a total of two X-rays to view the bones from different angles to investigate the alignment of bones, integrity of joints, fracture, or degenerative changes. In most cases, it is ordered to evaluate the pain, injury, limitation of motion, or suspected bone problems of the hip.
