What is an X-Ray Nasal Bone AP/LAT?
An X-Ray Nasal Bone AP/Lateral (LAT) View is a radiologic diagnostic examination that gives clear views of the nasal bones in the anterior (AP view) and lateral (Lateral view) positions. The test allows visualization of:
- Nasal Bone & Cartilage – Evaluates fractures, deformity, and malalignment of the structure.
- Nasal Septum – Evaluates deviation or abnormality that impacts breathing.
- Soft Tissue Structures – Identifies nasal swelling, infection, or fluid retention.
- Facial Bone Injury – Captures occult fracture or trauma-producing changes in the nose.
Quick, painless, and extremely useful evaluation instrument for identifying nasal bone fracture and structural abnormalities.
Medifyhome is linked to NABL-accredited diagnostic labs for providing quality-good, low-cost, and accurate X-ray service for maximum diagnosis and therapy planning.

- Nasal Bone Fractures & Trauma – Finds broken or displaced nasal bones from trauma.
- Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS) – Assesses septal deviations that impact breathing.
- Nasal Infections & Sinusitis – Determines chronic infection, inflammation, or fluid collection.
- Nasal Polyps & Tumours – Finds abnormal growths, cysts, or tumours in the nasal passage.
- Congenital Nasal Deformities – Examines structural birth defects.
