Know more about this test
The lower part of the spine comprises the lumbar vertebral bones, intervertebral discs, and the muscles around them. The lateral view is captured from the patient’s side. An X-ray uses radiation to create a picture of the area. A radiologist will assess the images and send a report. It diagnoses chronic back pain, views the effects of injuries, disease, infection, slipped discs, suspected tumors, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis. It is also useful in analyzing abnormal curvature of the spine due to birth defects.
An X-ray usually takes 15-20 minutes. This is a safer and painless technique, as the radiation exposure is minimal. You must inform the doctor if you are pregnant before doing this X-ray.
