About X-Ray Soft Tissue Neck AP & Lateral Views

An X-Ray Soft Tissue Neck AP & Lateral Views is an Ultimate radiograph study that consists of an Anteroposterior (AP) (Front) and Lateral (Side) X-ray of the Neck. These views offer an overall view of the airway, pharynx, larynx, trachea, epiglottis, and adjacent soft tissues. The exam is usually done when there are swallowing problems, pain in the throat, swelling in the neck, or a broken or blocked airway is suspected. Advanced digital radiography systems are used at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, which allows us to obtain detailed high-resolution images for a more accurate diagnosis of neck soft tissue conditions.

What is an X-Ray Soft Tissue Neck AP & Lateral Views?

An X-ray soft tissue neck AP & lateral views is an X-ray that is quick, painless, and not invasive and is used to assess the soft tissues in the neck rather than the bones. It may be helpful for identifying swelling, soft tissue masses, foreign bodies, infections, and constrictions of the airway. Both AP and lateral views give the advantage of a more complete evaluation than one view alone.

  • Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
  • Persistent sore throat
  • Neck swelling
  • Suspected foreign body in the throat
  • Noisy breathing or airway obstruction
  • Evaluation of enlarged adenoids
  • Assessment of neck infections
  • Follow-up after treatment
