About X-Ray L.S. Spine Lateral View
An X-ray, L.S. Spine Lateral View, is one of the types of medical imaging techniques used to take a side-on (or lateral) X-ray of the lower spine (lumbar spine and sacrum). It will offer details about the alignment of the vertebral bodies, the space between the discs, the alignment of the spine, and the curvature of the backbone. Helpful for identifying a cause of back pain or the source of spinal complaints, such as injury, arthritis, or a problem with the intervertebral disc.
What is an X-Ray L.S. Spine Lateral View?
X-rays can provide a good 2D picture of the bones in the low back, using a small amount of ionizing radiation. For a lateral view, the person is either standing or lying on their side, and the X-ray beam shines broadside down the side of the lumbar spine to see the side profile. It is non-invasive, rapid, and safe.
