About X-Ray LT Lower Ribs AP View

It assists in examining bones for traumatic, infectious, or medical issues causing bone abnormalities, fractures, and stress injuries. This scan might also give the doctor information about other structures close by, such as the lower lung, pleura, and the upper abdominal organs. Our highly qualified doctors of radiology at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy employ state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology to create optimal images with low-radiation exposure.
