300.00

An X-Ray Nasal Bone (LAT) is a lateral (side view) X-ray of the nasal bones, which are the small bones forming the bridge of the nose. This imaging test is commonly used to assess:

• Nasal bone fractures (due to trauma or injury)
• Deformities or dislocations
• Congenital abnormalities
• Pre-surgical or post-surgical evaluation

This side-view X-ray helps provide a detailed look at the alignment, structure, and integrity of the nasal bones.
