About X-Ray Both Wrists AP & Lateral Views

An X-ray of both wrists AP & Lateral Views is a special type of X-ray imaging that collects two types of views of each wrist joint. The AP view is frontal, and the Lateral view is side-on of each wrist. These views give an overall view of the distal radius, distal ulna, carpal bones, and carpal joint spaces and surrounding bony structures.

 

In Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, high-resolution images are generated using an advanced digital radiography system that allows for the precise assessment of injuries in the wrist and musculoskeletal disorders.

AP and lateral projections are useful together in diagnosing degenerative or post-traumatic changes, fractures, and joint dislocations, and in general to assess bone alignment. This exam is often performed in patients who have symptoms of wrist pain, swelling, trauma, limitation of motion, or a suspected bone or joint abnormality.
