X-ray of Whole Spine AP/Lateral & Rt. Lt. Bending Price in Bangladesh

What is X-ray of Whole Spine AP/Lateral & Rt. Lt. Bending?

An X-ray of the whole spine with AP (Anteroposterior), Lateral, and Right/Left Bending views is used to assess the alignment, structure, and function of the entire spine, from the cervical to the lumbar regions. The AP view provides a front-facing image to detect abnormalities such as scoliosis, fractures, or degenerative changes.

The Lateral view gives a side perspective, helping to evaluate the curvature and alignment of the spine. The Right and Left Bending views involve the patient bending the spine to each side, which helps to assess spinal flexibility and identify conditions like scoliosis or abnormal curvatures.

This series of X-rays aids in diagnosing spinal disorders or evaluating post-surgical outcomes. No special preparation is usually required.

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.
