About X-Ray L.S. Spine AP & Lateral / Flexion & Extension Views

A lumbar spine AP & lateral with flexion & extension is a special X-ray of the lower back (lumbar spine). Besides anteroposterior (AP) and lateral views, the spine is bent forward and backward to provide views of flexion and extension views, which provide important information about how stable the spine is and how it moves. Patients who experience chronic lower back pain, who have the possibility of spinal instability, have had spine surgery, or have a spine disorder may be asked to take this test.

What is an X-Ray L.S. Spine AP & Lateral / Flexion & Extension?

The X-ray obtains detailed images of the masses of the lumbar (lower) vertebrae, the spaces between the vertebrae, the facet (cervical) joints, and the positioning of the spine with a minimal amount of ionizing radiation. Dynamic, or moving, images of the X-rays are useful to detect abnormal movement of the vertebrae, which might not be detectable on a normal X-ray. The process is rapid, non-invasive, and painless.
