Know more about this test
X-Ray Cervical Spine LAT.View is an imaging test that helps detect any potential fractures, dislocations, bone lesions, or degenerative diseases of the cervical spine. An X-ray is a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation that gives images of the affected joint. It helps visualize any abnormality with the neck and cervical spine.
The X-ray is conducted while the patient is standing facing the side of their neck towards the X-ray machine. X-rays are relatively safe but can be dangerous in some cases. Exposure to the radiation can pose a minor risk to the patient. Pregnant women cannot get an X-ray done as there is a small chance that the radiation can harm the baby in the womb
