Know more about this test

X-Ray Whole Spine Anteroposterior (AP) View test is a diagnostic medical imaging technique used to take pictures of the spinal bone structure and soft tissues in their natural position. It detects bone fractures, herniated discs, arthritis, spondylosis, and tumor growth. The patient is made to stand erect or lie down horizontally. X-ray beams are used to take the image of the internal spine structure. The images are formed on a special detector that represents "shadows" of the organs inside the body.

The process takes around 15 to 30 minutes, or even less. No possible side effects are observed. Pregnant women have to take permission from the doctor before undergoing X-ray imaging. Apart from the exam gown, no other body jewelry is worn during the procedure.

FAQs related to X - Ray Whole Spine AP View

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.
