300.00

X-ray Right Ankle (AP) stands for Anteroposterior X-ray of the Right Ankle. This imaging test provides a clear view of the bones, joints, and surrounding structures in the ankle from front to back. It is typically ordered to evaluate:

• Fractures or dislocations
• Arthritis
• Bone infections (osteomyelitis)
• Bone tumors or cysts
• Chronic pain or swelling
• Post-surgical follow-up

Description

Test Preparation

Before the Test:
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing or a hospital gown may be provided.
• Remove any jewelry or metal objects around the ankle area, as they can interfere with the imaging.
• Inform the technician if you are pregnant, as radiation exposure should be minimized during pregnancy.

 Special Instructions:
• If your doctor has given specific instructions (e.g., related to mobility, prior imaging), follow those.
• If the X-ray is part of a pre-surgical evaluation, you may need additional tests
