Digital X-Ray of Atlanto axial joint OM view Price in Bangladesh

What is Digital X-Ray of Atlanto axial joint OM view?

A Digital X-Ray of the Atlanto-Axial Joint in the OM (Open Mouth) View is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the cervical spine, specifically the joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae (the atlas and axis). In this view, the patient is instructed to open their mouth, which allows the X-ray to capture a clear image of the joint, particularly the alignment and structures of the atlas, axis, and surrounding soft tissues.

This view is especially useful for assessing conditions such as joint dislocations, fractures, or abnormalities in the atlanto-axial region. Preparation is minimal, and risks are low due to the use of digital X-ray technology.

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.
