FAQs

Will I need an MRI or CT after the X-ray?

Depending on the findings and symptoms, your doctor may recommend MRI, CT, additional X-ray views, or other investigations, particularly when detailed assessment of nerves, discs, spinal cord, or soft tissues is required.

Do I need any preparation before the X-ray?

Usually, no special preparation is required. You may be asked to remove jewellery, belts, or clothing with metal components that could interfere with the images.

Can it detect degenerative changes?

Yes. X-rays can demonstrate certain degenerative changes, such as reduced disc spaces, osteophytes, and changes in vertebral alignment.

What is an AP view of the spine?

The AP (Anteroposterior) view provides a front-to-back image of the spine and helps assess overall alignment, curvature, and vertebral abnormalities.
