Why X-Ray Left Hand AP / LAT Is Required
An X-Ray Left Hand AP / LAT is recommended when patients experience pain, restricted movement, swelling, or deformity in the left hand. Doctors often advise this test in cases such as:
-
Hand or finger fractures caused by accidents or falls
-
Swelling or joint pain due to arthritis or infection
-
Suspected bone tumors or cysts
-
Assessment of bone healing after surgery or cast removal
-
Evaluation of congenital deformities or bone alignment
At Diagnopein in Karad, this X-ray examination offers crucial insights to confirm diagnosis and guide effective treatment planning with precision and comfort.

How the X-Ray Left Hand AP / LAT Test Is Done
The procedure for conducting an X-Ray Left Hand AP / LAT is simple, quick, and completely painless:
-
The patient is asked to remove any metallic jewelry or accessories.
-
For the AP (Anteroposterior) view, the left hand is placed flat with the palm facing up on the X-ray table.
-
For the LAT (Lateral) view, the hand is positioned sideways to capture the side profile.
-
The radiologic technologist adjusts positioning to ensure correct angles and clear image capture.
-
The process takes only 5–10 minutes, and the images are immediately sent for radiologist review.
At Diagnopein, patients receive a comprehensive report interpreted by experienced radiologists in Karad, ensuring accuracy and clarity for their physician’s diagnosis.
Parameters and Image Evaluation
The X-Ray Left Hand AP / LAT primarily assesses:

Bone alignment and joint spaces

Bone density variations
-
Signs of arthritis, infections, or bone lesions
