A Hand X-ray is a targeted diagnostic exam used to visualize the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the hand and wrist. This imaging service is essential for evaluating injuries such as fractures, dislocations, and sprains, as well as for diagnosing chronic conditions like arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and bone infections.
Hand X-rays are also commonly used in pediatric patients to assess bone age and monitor growth plate development, offering crucial insights into developmental health. In adult patients, they can reveal signs of overuse, joint degeneration, or systemic conditions affecting bone density.
