X-RAY Both Knee LAT View

600.00

An X-ray of both knees in the Lateral (LAT) view is a diagnostic imaging test that captures a side view of both knee joints. This view helps in assessing:

• Patella (kneecap) position and alignment
• Joint space to detect arthritis or cartilage loss
• Bone fractures or dislocations
• Soft tissue abnormalities

It is commonly used for diagnosing knee injuries, degenerative diseases, and post-surgical evaluations.
