About X-Ray Mandible Left Lateral Oblique View
An X-ray Mandible Left Lateral Oblique View is a specialized X-ray examination focusing on the left side of the mandible (jaw bone), such as the body, angle, and ramus (or lower portion of the jaw). This projection will help to show as little overlap of bone involved with the face as possible, allowing the radiologist to see the mandible bone better and to identify bone fractures, infections, abnormalities, etc.
The highly sophisticated digital X-ray technology produces a good quality image, while exposing the patient to a minimum amount of radiation for accurate and reliable diagnosis at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy.
