About X-Ray Cervical Spine AP & Lateral View
An X-ray of the spine of the neck (cervical spine) viewed from the front and from the side (or lateral view) is a common X-ray of the neck.
- AP (Anteroposterior) View: Taken from the front to evaluate the alignment of the cervical vertebrae.
- Lateral View: Taken from the side to assess vertebral alignment, disc spaces, and the natural curvature of the cervical spine.
Both views offer a good examination of cervical vertebrae and any surrounding structures of both soft tissue and hard origins. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy takes a leading role in performing cervical spine X-rays with computerised digital radiography systems, ensuring high-quality diagnostic images.
