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.

FAQs related to X - Ray Lumbar Spine (LS) LAT 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.
