About X-Ray Cervico-Dorsal Spine AP View
X-ray Cervico-Dorsal Spine AP (Anteroposterior) View is a special X-Ray imaging procedure that provides an AP-set snapshot of the junction between the cervical spine and thoracic spine (Cervicothoracic Region). Useful in the diagnosis of a variety of spinal diseases, this projection makes it easy to see the vertebral bodies, the spinal alignment, and other bones in the area. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy employs state-of-the-art digital X-ray systems to capture crisp images of the cervicodorsal spine for correct evaluation of cervicodorsal spine disorders.
What is an X-Ray Cervico-Dorsal Spine AP View?
X-ray is a fast, non-invasive imaging test that will provide an evaluation of the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine anteriorly. It can aid in determining the lordosis of the spine, aid in detecting fractured vertebrae, in diagnosing any degeneration of the spine, or any congenital defect in the cervicothoracic area. This Exam is frequently suggested for cases encountering continuous neck pain, upper back pain, or spinal injuries.
