X RAY LEFT ARM AP

One of the most common types of imaging studies performed to diagnose either an injury or a condition affecting the left arm is a left arm AP x-ray (Anteroposterior view). There are many causes for your doctor to request this type of x-ray such as if you have fallen recently, have been experiencing chronic pain, or have a suspected fracture; however, all of these scenarios utilise the same imaging technique to help provide physicians with detailed information about the structure of bones located within the left arm. The cost of an x-ray can range between approximately INR 500 to INR 800.

At City Imaging, we recognize that undergoing medical testing can be a daunting and frustrating experience for our patients; therefore, we have created this guide to help you better understand all aspects of the x-ray left arm AP, including what it entails, why it is performed, how to prepare for it and what to expect upon completion—all presented in a manner that is simple, user-friendly and resonates with you on a human level.
