What is PORTABLE XRAY L/S SPINE AP & LATERAL?
A portable X-ray of the lumbar spine (L/S) AP (anteroposterior) & lateral is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to examine the bones and structures of the lower back. The ""AP"" view captures images from the front (anterior) to the back (posterior) of the spine, while the ""lateral"" view provides a side perspective.
This combination helps assess the alignment of the vertebrae, detect fractures, disc degeneration, arthritis, or other abnormalities in the lumbar region. It is often performed in emergency settings or for patients who cannot be easily transported to a stationary X-ray facility.
The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and requires no special preparation.
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.
