What is an X-Ray Left Knee AP?

The left knee AP view uses a radiographic examination that uses an X-ray beam that moves from the front of the left knee (anterior) to the rear of the left knee (posterior). The first letter of "anterior and posterior" is the letter "AP."

This view is essential for examining:
