X-RAY Both Leg (AP+LAT)

900.00

An X-ray of both legs in AP (Anteroposterior) and Lateral (LAT) views is a diagnostic imaging test that captures the entire length of both legs from two different angles:

• AP (Anteroposterior) View: Provides a front-to-back image of the bones, joints, and alignment.
• Lateral View: Captures a side view, offering a detailed look at bone structure, soft tissues, and any abnormalities.

This X-ray is commonly used to evaluate:

  • Fractures or bone injuries
  • Bone alignment and deformities (e.g., bow legs, knock knees)
  • Joint conditions like arthritis or infections
  • Bone infections (osteomyelitis) or tumors
  • Leg length discrepancies
