X - Ray Dorsolumbar Spine AP/LAT Standing View near me in Kalyan

An X-ray of the Dorso-lumbar spine is a diagnostic test used to visualize the bones, discs, and the surrounding tissues of the lower back (lumbar part of the spine). An X-ray test uses ionizing radiations to produce images of the bones and surrounding soft tissues. The bones appear white on an X-ray image, while the soft tissues are usually darker in color. This test can be used to diagnose abnormalities in the lower spine like fractures, dislocations, tumors, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), arthritis, etc.

X-ray tests are generally not recommended for pregnant women because of the risks to the baby. Before the test, the patient would be asked to remove jewelry or other metallic items from the body. The patient may be asked to change to a hospital gown.
