Test Code

X-Ray Lumbar Spine – AP & Lateral View is a radiographic examination used to evaluate the bones and alignment of the lower back (lumbar spine). The AP (Anteroposterior) view provides a front-to-back image, while the lateral view shows the spine from the side, allowing detailed assessment of vertebrae, disc spaces, and spinal alignment. This test is commonly used to diagnose back pain, fractures, degenerative changes, spondylosis, scoliosis, and other spinal abnormalities. It is quick, non-invasive, and involves minimal radiation exposure. The examination plays a key role in initial evaluation of lower back conditions and injury assessment.
