Diagnopein X-Ray Right Hand AP/OBLIQUE (Walkin DHPL) - CIMS Bhopal Centre in Bhopal

How is the X-Ray Right Hand AP/Oblique Performed?

The X-ray procedure for the right hand is simple and typically takes only a few minutes. Here's what to expect during the exam:
1] Positioning:
A] For the AP view, the patient places their hand flat on the X-ray plate with the palm down and fingers extended. The technician may ask the patient to spread their fingers slightly to avoid overlap of the bones.
B] For the oblique view, the patient will rotate their hand at a 45-degree angle, keeping the palm down but slightly turned outward. The technician will ensure the correct positioning to capture the most accurate image.
2] Image Capture: Once the patient is in position, the technician will direct the X-ray machine to capture the images. The patient will be asked to hold still for a few seconds to avoid any motion blur, and the images are typically taken quickly.
3] Radiation Safety: The amount of radiation used in an X-ray is minimal, and the procedure is generally safe. The technician may use lead shielding to protect parts of the body that are not being imaged, especially in women who are pregnant or may be pregnant.

Benefits of X-Ray Right Hand AP/Oblique

1] Comprehensive Imaging: The combination of AP and oblique views provides a thorough examination of the bones and joints in the hand, making it easier to identify conditions that might be missed with a single view.
2] Quick and Non-invasive: The procedure is fast, typically lasting only a few minutes, and involves no incisions or injections, making it a simple, non-invasive way to assess hand injuries and conditions.
3] Accurate Diagnosis: The detailed images obtained from the AP and oblique views help healthcare providers make accurate diagnoses, whether for fractures, arthritis, infections, or other conditions affecting the hand.
4] Low Radiation Exposure: The X-ray uses a minimal amount of radiation, and safety measures are taken to reduce exposure. The benefits of accurate diagnosis typically outweigh the small risks associated with radiation exposure.
