FAQs

What is an X-Ray Cervical Spine AP & Lateral?

X-Ray Cervical Spine AP & Lateral is a two-view X-ray examination of the cervical spine (neck) that includes Anteroposterior (AP) and Lateral views to evaluate the bones, alignment, and overall condition of the cervical spine.

Why is this examination performed?

It is commonly performed to evaluate neck pain, spinal injuries, suspected fractures, cervical spondylosis, degenerative disc disease, spinal alignment abnormalities, osteoporosis-related changes, and other conditions affecting the cervical spine.

Why are both AP and Lateral views required?

The AP view evaluates the overall alignment and symmetry of the cervical spine, while the Lateral view provides detailed assessment of vertebral body height, cervical curvature, disc spaces, fractures, dislocations, and degenerative changes.

Can this X-ray detect fractures?

Yes. It is commonly used to identify fractures, dislocations, and other traumatic injuries of the cervical spine.

Can it detect cervical spondylosis?

Yes. It can reveal signs of cervical spondylosis, including disc space narrowing, bone spurs (osteophytes), and degenerative changes.
