FAQs

What is an X-Ray DL Spine Lateral?

X-Ray DL Spine Lateral is a diagnostic imaging examination that captures a side-view (Lateral) image of the dorsolumbar (DL) spine, the junction between the thoracic and lumbar spine, using low-dose X-ray radiation.

Why is this X-ray performed?

It is commonly performed to evaluate back pain, spinal trauma, suspected fractures, compression fractures, degenerative changes, spinal deformities, osteoporosis-related vertebral collapse, and other abnormalities affecting the dorsolumbar spine.

What does “DL Spine” mean?

DL Spine refers to the dorsolumbar spine, the transition region between the thoracic (dorsal) spine and the lumbar spine, typically including the T10–L2 vertebrae.

Which structures are examined during the test?

The examination visualizes the dorsolumbar vertebrae, intervertebral disc spaces, vertebral bodies, spinal alignment, and surrounding bony structures.

Can this X-ray detect fractures?
