X-Ray Ribs AP & LAT View
Are you seeking an affordable X-Ray Ribs AP & LAT View? Medintu offers competitively priced MRI and CT scans, partnering with top NABL-certified diagnostic centers and clinics. Our facilities ensure high-quality imaging and accurate results. An X-ray Ribs AP & LAT View is an imaging procedure that captures two perspectives of the ribs: an anteroposterior (AP) view and a lateral (LAT) view. The AP view shows the ribs from front to back, while the LAT view displays them from the side. This combination of views helps doctors assess the ribs, lungs, and surrounding structures for any abnormalities. It is commonly used to diagnose rib fractures, infections, or lung issues like pneumonia or tumors. The X-ray images assist in evaluating the severity of injuries, guiding treatment, and monitoring the healing process. To book an X-ray Ribs AP & LAT View scan appointment, visit our platform, Medintu, or contact us at +919100907036 or +919100907622 for reasonable prices.
What is an X-ray Ribs AP & LAT View?
An X-ray Ribs AP & LAT View is a diagnostic imaging test that provides two different views of the ribs: an anteroposterior (AP) and lateral (LAT) view. The AP view captures the front-to-back angle of the ribs, while the LAT view shows the side of the ribcage. This dual-view technique allows doctors to assess the ribs, lungs, and surrounding structures for any abnormalities. It is typically used to identify fractures, lung infections, tumors, or other issues affecting the rib area. The X-ray images help doctors evaluate the severity of injuries and guide appropriate treatment plans.
