What is an X-Ray LS Spine AP?

X-Ray LS Spine AP is a diagnostic imaging examination that captures a front-view (Anteroposterior or AP) image of the lumbosacral (lower) spine using low-dose X-ray radiation.

Why is this X-ray performed?

It is performed to evaluate lower back pain, spinal injuries, fractures, scoliosis, arthritis, degenerative changes, spinal alignment abnormalities, and other conditions affecting the lumbar spine.

Which structures are examined during the test?

The examination visualizes the lumbar vertebrae (L1–L5), lumbosacral junction (L5–S1), sacrum, sacroiliac joints, vertebral alignment, and surrounding bony structures.

Why is the AP view important?

The AP view helps assess spinal alignment, scoliosis, fractures, vertebral symmetry, and other abnormalities of the lower spine.

Can this X-ray detect fractures?
