Overview

A Left Arm AP and LAT X-Ray is a reliable imaging test used frequently to help diagnose injuries of a patient’s arm and other problems (e.g., persistent pain or suspected bone abnormalities). The dual view used in these x-rays provides your doctor with a detailed view of both posterior-anterior and lateral views of your arm, allowing your doctor to diagnose any injury or problem that has occurred as a result of trauma. The average cost of a left arm x-ray ranges between INR 800 to INR 1100.

What is an X Ray Left Arm AP Lat?

An X-ray Left Arm AP & LAT is one of the different types of diagnostic imaging modalities. The AP (Anteroposterior) view of the left arm is the view from the front looking back through the arm. The LAT (Lateral) view is the view of the left arm from the side to get a view from the side. Both of these views are required to provide a detailed view of the bones, joints, and the surrounding tissues, therefore creating two different views to provide a more accurate diagnosis about what is wrong since sometimes there may be nothing wrong in one view that may occur in a different view when taking them at the same time.
