X-RAY Right Thumb (AP+LAT)

600.00

An X-ray Right Thumb (AP + LAT) is a diagnostic imaging test that captures two different views of the right thumb:

• AP (Anterior-Posterior) View: A front-to-back image of the thumb.
• LAT (Lateral) View: A side image of the thumb.

These two views together provide a detailed look at the bones, joints, and soft tissues in the thumb, helping doctors detect injuries or conditions more accurately.
