Forearm AP/L Xray
Forearm AP & Lateral X-ray
Description:
A Forearm AP and Lateral X-ray provides two views of the forearm, including the radius and ulna bones. The AP (Anteroposterior) view captures the front-to-back alignment, while the Lateral view provides a side profile of the forearm. These images are essential for evaluating fractures, dislocations, and other bone or joint abnormalities in the forearm.
Common Uses:
Detecting fractures or dislocations in the radius and ulna
Evaluating bone alignment after trauma or surgery
Diagnosing conditions like bone infections or tumors
Assessing degenerative joint conditions or arthritis
Monitoring the healing process of previous injuries
Preparation:
No special preparation is needed. Patients may be asked to remove any jewelry or metal objects from the arm area.
Duration:
5–10 minutes
Radiation Level:
Low (standard for limb imaging)
