Digital X-Ray of Cervical spine flexion, extention and open mouth Price in Bangladesh

What is Digital X-Ray of Cervical spine flexion, extention and open mouth?

A Digital X-Ray of the Cervical Spine in Flexion, Extension, and Open Mouth Views provides a comprehensive evaluation of the neck. The Flexion and Extension views assess the range of motion and alignment of the cervical spine, helping to detect instability, fractures, or misalignments.

The Open Mouth view focuses on the upper cervical spine, particularly the odontoid process (dens) and the articulation between the first and second cervical vertebrae, aiding in the detection of issues such as fractures or joint abnormalities. The procedure is quick, requires minimal preparation, and involves low radiation exposure due to digital X-ray technology.

What to expect & how to prepare

An X-ray takes a picture of bones or chest structures in a few seconds. A radiographer positions you, asks you to hold still and briefly hold your breath for chest views. Nothing is injected.

• Eat and drink normally: a plain X-ray needs no diet restriction before your appointment.
• Metal: remove jewellery, coins, belts and clothing with zips or hooks over the area, or change into a gown as advised.
• Positioning: you may be asked to stand, sit or lie in a specific position — for weight-bearing views you will stand on the affected limb.
• Bring earlier films: previous X-rays of the same area help with comparison.

A plain X-ray uses a small dose of ionising radiation. Tell the radiographer before the exposure if you are pregnant or think you might be.

Taken by a radiographer and reported by a radiologist; bring the doctor's advice that requested it.
