Digital X-Ray of Abdomen Erect Posture AP & Lat. View Price in Bangladesh

What is Digital X-Ray of Abdomen Erect Posture AP & Lat. View?

A Digital X-Ray of the Abdomen in Erect Posture, with both AP (Anteroposterior) and Lateral views, is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the abdominal organs and structures. The AP view captures an image from the front, while the Lateral view provides a side perspective.

This combination of views helps evaluate conditions such as bowel obstructions, fluid levels, gas patterns, or organ enlargement. The erect posture is typically used to assess the movement of air and fluids in the abdominal cavity.

Preparation is minimal, often involving fasting. Risks are low due to the use of digital imaging, with only a small amount of radiation exposure.

What to expect & how to prepare

An X-ray takes a picture of bones or chest structures in a few seconds. A radiographer positions you, asks you to hold still and briefly hold your breath for chest views. Nothing is injected.

• Eat and drink normally: a plain X-ray needs no diet restriction before your appointment.
• Metal: remove jewellery, coins, belts and clothing with zips or hooks over the area, or change into a gown as advised.
• Positioning: you may be asked to stand, sit or lie in a specific position — for weight-bearing views you will stand on the affected limb.
• Bring earlier films: previous X-rays of the same area help with comparison.

A plain X-ray uses a small dose of ionising radiation. Tell the radiographer before the exposure if you are pregnant or think you might be.

Taken by a radiographer and reported by a radiologist; bring the doctor's advice that requested it.
