About X-Ray Left Thumb AP & Lateral Views
X-ray Left Thumb AP & Lateral Views is an imaging type of test to take two X-rays of the left thumb. AP – the peak on a frontal image is shown horizontally; the right side is put on the left. On the lateral image, the profile image is located with the right side on the left. These views will give a good idea about the thumb phalanges, the first metacarpal, CMC (carpometacarpal) joint, MCP (metacarpophalangeal) joint, IP (interphalangeal) joint, and the adjacent bones. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, our advanced digital imaging system allows for a high-resolution image to assess the injury to the thumb as well as to help ascertain musculoskeletal injuries.
What is an X-Ray Left Thumb AP & Lateral Views?
An X-ray Left Thumb AP & Lateral View is an imaging exam that uses X-rays to check the bones and joints in the left thumb and is quick, non-invasive, and painless. The lateral view and the AP view can be used to assess the bones for alignment, suspected fractures, thumb joint dislocations, and the effects of degenerative or inflammatory processes of the thumb. It is typically recommended when a person's thumb is painful, enlarged, or has suffered trauma, or they have difficulty moving or holding onto objects.
