X-ray – Skull AP (Anteroposterior view) is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to examine the bones of the skull from a front-to-back perspective. This view helps assess the overall structure, symmetry, and alignment of the skull.

The test is commonly used in cases of head injury, trauma, or suspected fractures. It can also help identify bone lesions, congenital abnormalities, or structural changes in the skull.

Skull AP X-ray is a quick, non-invasive procedure that provides essential information for diagnosis and further management. It is often performed along with other skull views for a more comprehensive evaluation.

The purpose of the X-ray – Skull AP test is to:

• Examine the skull structure and alignment
• Detect fractures or injuries
• Identify bone abnormalities or lesions
• Assess symmetry of the skull
• Support diagnosis of skull-related conditions
