wrist X-rays

• Procedure Time: Typically takes about 5–10 minutes.
• Common Views: You will sit at the end of an X-ray table with your arm extended. The technologist will take images from the top (PA), the side (Lateral), and at an angle (Oblique) to see between the small bones.
• Preparation: No special prep is required, but you must remove all jewelry, including watches, bracelets, and rings, as metal will block the view of the bones.
• Positioning: You may be asked to move your hand into a "cup" shape or tilt it to the side for a few seconds. If the wrist is very painful, the technologist will move your arm as gently as possible.
• Post-Exam: There is no recovery time. You can resume your normal daily activities immediately after the test.
