X RAY LEFT HAND AP

What is the X-ray of the Left Hand AP?

A Left-hand digital X-ray is an imaging examination used to visualize the Hand area. It helps in visualizing the hands and their surroundings. The hand is made up of three bones: the wrist bones (carpal bones), the bones connecting the wrist bones to the fingers (metacarpal bones), and the fingers themselves. It is advised in cases of hand pain, soreness, and swelling. It helps in detecting infections, bone cysts, tumors, fractures, and osteomyelitis in the hand bones. It is also indicated before surgery, to assess bone alignment after surgery, or as part of bone-age research. Pregnant women should inform their doctor about their condition, as radiation may harm the fetus.
