What is a X-RAY WHOLE SPINE AP?

X-Ray Whole Spine AP (Anteroposterior) is a specialized diagnostic imaging examination that captures the entire spine in a single front-to-back view. The test helps evaluate overall spinal alignment, posture, curvature, and bone structure, including the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions. It is commonly used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as scoliosis, spinal deformities, vertebral fractures, degenerative changes, and other abnormalities affecting the spine, supporting accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
