300.00

An X-Ray Left Knee (LAT) refers to a Lateral (side) view X-ray of your left knee. This imaging test helps your doctor get a clear view of the knee joint from the side, which complements the AP (front-to-back) view. It’s often used to check for:

• Fractures
• Joint dislocations
• Bone alignment issues
• Arthritis or degenerative changes

Test Preparation

Typically, no special preparation is needed for a knee X-ray, but here are a few important points:

  •  Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to change into a gown.
  •  Metal Objects: Remove any metal items from your body (e.g., jewelry, belts, coins) that could interfere with the image.
  •  Inform the Technician:
    o Let them know if you’re pregnant or think you might be.
    o Mention any recent injuries, surgeries, or implants in the knee area.
