X-Ray Both Hands Ap View

5000+ scans done & counting

An X-Ray of Both Hands Anteroposterior (AP) View is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that produces images of the bones in both hands, providing valuable insight into the structure, condition, and functioning of the hands. The test is frequently used to detect fractures, dislocations, infections, arthritis, tumors, and other abnormalities that may be causing pain or discomfort.

The hand is a complex structure made up of 27 bones, and an X-ray can reveal crucial details about these bones and the joints that connect them. By using X-ray imaging, physicians can gain a detailed understanding of the hand's condition, which is critical for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.


Specific Instructions:
  • No particular preparation is required for an X-ray of the hands. However, you should inform your radiologist if you have any metal objects on your body, including jewelry, as these could interfere with the clarity of the images. Additionally, if you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, you should inform your doctor, as radiation can pose potential risks to the developing fetus.
  • You'll likely be asked to remove any jewelry or clothing that could interfere with the X-ray images. Also, you should be prepared to stay very still during the examination to ensure clear, accurate images.
