FAQs
The AP (Anteroposterior) view provides a front-to-back image of the spine and is particularly useful for assessing side-to-side spinal curvature, overall alignment, and vertebral positioning.
It can demonstrate many visible vertebral fractures and other bony abnormalities. If a fracture is complex or not clearly visible, your doctor may recommend CT or MRI for further evaluation.
Depending on the findings and symptoms, your doctor may recommend bending or flexion-extension X-rays, MRI, CT, or other spinal investigations.
Usually, no special preparation is required. You may be asked to remove jewellery, belts, or clothing containing metal that could interfere with the images.
