X-RAY ELBOW APLATERAL

Tested By Sri Divya Diagnostic Center

In an elbow X-ray, an X-ray machine sends a beam of radiation through the elbow, and an image is recorded on special X-ray film or a computer. This image shows soft tissues and bones of the elbow, including the humerus (the upper bone of the elbow joint), and the radius and ulna (the lower bones of the elbow joint). An X-ray technician will take pictures of the elbow: • from the front (anteroposterior, or AP, view) • from the side (lateral view) • at an angle (oblique view) Occasionall
