300.00

An X-ray Right Thigh (LAT) is a lateral (side view) X-ray of the right femur (thigh bone). This imaging test allows doctors to see the bone from the side, offering a different perspective than the frontal (AP) view.

It’s particularly helpful for evaluating:
• Fractures or dislocations
• Bone infections (osteomyelitis)
• Tumors or cysts
• Healing progress after surgery or injury
• Unexplained pain, swelling, or deformity
