About X-Ray Cervico-Dorsal Spine AP & Lateral Views
An X-ray AP & Lat Cervico Dorsal Spine is a specialized X-ray of the radiolucent cervical spine through a region of the spine called the cervicothoracic junction, comprising the cervicothoracic spine topography. The complementary views offer an overall view of the vertebrae, spine alignment, intervertebral space, and surrounding bones. Applying our digital radiography systems, we're able to get a close-up look at the high end of the canine spine and evaluate cervicodorsal spine disorders at a high-resolution level at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy.
What is an X-Ray Cervico-Dorsal Spine AP & Lateral Views?
X-Ray Cervico-Dorsal Spine AP & Lateral Views is a short imaging test that checks the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine, which is fast, painless, and can be performed with the use of radiation. On the AP view, you'll get a picture of the thickness of your back, and on the lateral view, you'll see a side view of your spine, which enables doctors to detect fractures, alignment problems, degeneration of your spine, and other spine problems. This exam is often performed in individuals who experience ongoing neck pain, upper back pain, or any injury to the spine.

- Upper back pain
- Injury following a road traffic accident or fall
- Suspected cervical or upper thoracic fracture
