Know more about this test
The X - Ray D L (Dorso-Lumbar Spine) Extension & Flexion Views is a safe and painless test to visualise the vertebral bones of the lower back (thoracic and the lumbar spinal column) along with their intervertebral discs and the surrounding soft tissues like skin and muscles using a small amount of radiation. The image is recorded on a special X-ray film. The X-ray image is black and white. Dense structures such as the bones, appear white and softer body tissues, such as the skin and muscles appear darker. The actual exposure time to radiation is usually less than a second, although the overall test may take 20-30 minutes.
