2023年9月1日 · A spine X-ray is an imaging test that uses electromagnetic waves to take pictures of the bones in your neck and back. On an X-ray, your bones (in this case, your vertebrae) show up as white and your soft tissues (like muscle and fat) show up as shades of gray.

2018年9月17日 · A lumbosacral spine X-ray, or lumbar spine X-ray, is an imaging test that helps your doctor view the anatomy of your lower back. The lumbar spine is made up of five vertebral bones.

2024年6月21日 · Lumbar spine radiographs are one of the more commonly requested radiographic investigations of the spine, however, projectional radiography has limitations and further imaging such as MRI and CT should be considered for further evaluation if justified by presenting clinical presentation 1,2.

2023年3月2日 · A spinal X-ray is a procedure that uses radiation to make detailed pictures of the bones of your spine. It can help your doctor find out what's causing your back or neck pain.

2021年6月29日 · A lumbar spine X-ray is a picture of the vertebrae in the lower part of the spine. This area includes the lumbar region and the sacrum. It is important to remember that lumbar spine X-rays involve a significant radiation dose (approximately 70 chest X-rays).

There is rarely any discomfort when having an x-ray, although the table may be cold. Often, your provider will treat a person with low back pain for 4 to 8 weeks before ordering an x-ray. The most common reason for lumbosacral spine x-ray is to look for the cause of low back pain that: Lumbosacral spine x-rays may show:

Lumbar radiographs are commonly ordered for both acute and chronic back pain and AP and lateral films are a mainstay for most conditions. Oblique views can help find spondylolysis and flexion and extension views can help quantify spondylolisthesis.

X-rays of the spine may be performed to evaluate any area of the spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, or coccygeal). Other related procedures that may be used to diagnose spine, back, or neck problems include myelography (myelogram), computed tomography (CT scan), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or bone scans.

2024年6月14日 · Lumbosacral spine X-rays, also called lumbar spine X-rays, are a radiographic imaging technique that uses low doses of electromagnetic radiation to view the internal anatomy of the lower spine, called the lumbosacral region. These images are used to diagnose a wide range of abnormalities, injuries, and diseases in the region.
