About X-ray of the Whole Spine AP/LAT
An X-ray of the Whole Spine AP/LAT is a specialized imaging procedure that captures detailed front (Anteroposterior – AP) and side (Lateral – LAT) views of the entire spine. The AP view provides a direct image of the spine’s alignment and curvature, while the LAT view offers a side perspective, helping doctors evaluate vertebral spacing, posture, and any deformities affecting movement. This non-invasive and painless procedure plays a key role in assessing chronic back pain, injuries, spinal cord abnormalities, and post-surgical recovery.
It is widely used for patients experiencing persistent pain, mobility issues, or suspected spinal abnormalities. During the X-ray, the patient is positioned carefully to ensure clear and high-resolution images of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. This allows healthcare professionals to identify bone degeneration, herniated discs, or structural deformities that may be causing discomfort or nerve compression. We collaborate with NABL and NABH-certified diagnostic imaging centers to offer cost-effective yet high-quality X-ray tests.
