Digital X-Ray of Lumbo-sacral spine (B/V) AP & Lateral View Price in Bangladesh

What is Digital X-Ray of Lumbo-sacral spine (B/V) AP & Lateral View?

A Digital X-Ray of the lumbosacral spine (B/V) in both anterior-posterior (AP) and lateral views is used to assess the lower back and sacrum from two different angles. The AP view captures the spine from the front, helping detect alignment issues, fractures, arthritis, or other bone abnormalities.

The lateral view provides a side view, offering insights into disc space, vertebral alignment, and possible degenerative conditions. During the procedure, the patient will be positioned to ensure clear imaging from both angles.

Radiation exposure is minimal, and the results are interpreted by a radiologist to evaluate bone and joint health in the lumbosacral area.

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.
