Digital X-Ray of Lumbo Sacral Spine P/A view Price in Bangladesh

What is Digital X-Ray of Lumbo Sacral Spine P/A view?

A Digital X-Ray of the lumbosacral spine in the posterior-anterior (P/A) view is used to examine the lower back and sacrum area. This imaging technique helps identify issues such as fractures, arthritis, spinal alignment problems, or disc abnormalities.

During the procedure, the patient will be asked to lie on their back or stand while the X-ray machine captures images from the front (P/A). Preparation typically involves removing metal objects from the area being imaged.

Risks are minimal, primarily related to radiation exposure. Radiologists interpret the results to assess the condition of the bones and joints in the lumbosacral region.

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.
