• What is an X-ray Both Big Toe AP & LAT?
  

  The X-ray Big Toe (AP & LAT) is a medical imaging examination that looks at the bones, joints, and soft tissues of both big toes. The AP (Anteroposterior) takes a front-to-back perspective, whereas the LAT (Lateral) takes a side view. This scan can detect fractures, arthritis, infections, bone deformities, and other abnormalities, enabling a more precise diagnosis and treatment plan. It is fast, painless, and a non-invasive procedure that is often prescribed for foot problems.
