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

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

A Digital X-Ray of the lumbosacral spine (B/V) in both posterior-anterior (PA) and lateral views is used to examine the lower back and sacrum from two distinct angles. The PA view captures the spine from the back, offering insights into the alignment and structure of the vertebrae, while the lateral view provides a side image, helping to evaluate the disc spaces, vertebral health, and potential issues like fractures or degeneration.

During the procedure, the patient is positioned to ensure clear imaging from both views. Radiation exposure is minimal, and the results are interpreted by a radiologist to detect any abnormalities or conditions affecting the spine.

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.
