Digital X-Ray of Both Knee Joint and Skyline B/V Price in Bangladesh

What is Digital X-Ray of Both Knee Joint and Skyline B/V?

A Digital X-Ray of Both Knee Joints with Skyline Views (B/V) involves capturing images of both knees from multiple views, typically Anteroposterior (AP), Lateral, and the Skyline View. The Skyline View is a specialized imaging technique focused on capturing the patella (kneecap) in a unique angle to assess the relationship between the patella and the femur, as well as to evaluate the patellofemoral joint.

This view is particularly useful for diagnosing patellar tracking issues, patellofemoral arthritis, and other conditions related to the knee cap. The procedure helps diagnose conditions like osteoarthritis, fractures, patellar dislocations, or cartilage damage.

It requires minimal preparation, such as removing clothing or jewelry near the knee, and has minimal risks due to the low radiation exposure 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.
