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.
What is an X-Ray Both Wrists AP & Lateral Views?
X-Ray Both Wrists AP & Lateral Views is an easily performed, painless, non-invasive imaging that seeks to assess the bones and joints of both the left and right wrists. 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.
Common Reasons for an X-Ray: Both Wrists AP & Lateral Views
Wrist injury following a fall or accident
Persistent pain in one or both wrists
Suspected wrist fracture
Wrist joint dislocation
Swelling or tenderness around the wrists
Difficulty moving the wrists
Evaluation of arthritis
Follow-up after fracture treatment or surgery
Conditions Evaluated
Wrist Fractures
Detects fractures involving the distal radius, distal ulna, carpal bones, and other wrist structures.
Joint Dislocation
Evaluates abnormal alignment or displacement of the wrist joints.
Osteoarthritis
Assesses joint space narrowing, bone spurs, and degenerative changes affecting the wrists.
Bone Lesions
Helps identify cysts, tumors, or other abnormalities affecting the wrist bones.
Congenital or Structural Abnormalities

Remain still during image acquisition to ensure sharp, high-quality diagnostic images.
Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration and examination preparation.
X-Ray Both Wrists AP & Lateral 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 एवं Lateral 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) and Lateral views of both wrists.
The radiology technician carefully positions each wrist to capture detailed images of the distal radius, distal ulna, carpal bones, wrist joint spaces, 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 both hands and wrists completely still while each image is acquired to prevent motion blur.
Multiple images are obtained from different angles to provide a comprehensive evaluation of both wrist joints.
The examination is quick, painless, non-invasive, and is generally completed within a few minutes.
The radiologist reviews the images to evaluate fractures, joint dislocations, osteoarthritis, bone lesions, congenital abnormalities, and post-traumatic or post-surgical changes.
After detailed image analysis, the final report is generally available within 04 hours.
