X-ray of Scanogram Price in Bangladesh

What is X-ray of Scanogram?

A scanogram, also known as a limb length measurement X-ray, is a specialized imaging technique used to assess the length of bones, typically for detecting limb length discrepancies or monitoring growth in children. The procedure involves taking X-ray images of both legs, from the hip to the ankle, while the patient stands or lies in a specific position.

The scanogram is used to measure the difference in length between the limbs and can help diagnose conditions like scoliosis, leg length inequality, or assess post-surgical outcomes. No special preparation is usually needed, but you may need to remove any clothing or jewelry that could interfere with the scan.

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.
