Know more about this test

X-Ray LS Spine AP View is an imaging test that allows your doctor to visualize the lower back anatomy, which includes the intervertebral discs, the lumbar vertebral bones (L1 to L5), and the surrounding soft tissues.

X-Ray LS Spine AP View or X-ray lumbosacral spine anteroposterior view uses X-rays to obtain images of your spine. These images help determine the severity and source causing your back or neck pain.

An abnormal x-ray may help indicate injuries, congenital abnormalities (inherited bone disorders), abnormalities in the curvature of the spine, wear or stress on the cartilage and bones of the lower spine, narrowing of the joints between the vertebrae, signs of thinning bones (osteoporosis), spondylolisthesis (dislocation of the vertebra), fractures or other illnesses in the spinal bones.

FAQs related to X - Ray L S (Lumbo-Sacral) AP View in Pune

What are the drawbacks of a bone X-ray?

X-ray images give a very clear view of the bones. However, it does not provide a good visual image of the soft tissues like tendons, muscles or fat tissue under the skin. Even the bone microfractures or complicated spine injuries are not clearly visible on the X Ray images. Apart from this, it also exposes the patient to some amount of radiations but the benefit of the information gained from an X-ray image outweighs the risk of radiations.

Who interprets the X-ray results?

The interpretation of an X-Ray image is carried out by a radiologist who analyses or reads the X-ray image and prepares a report of the findings which is shared with the patient.
