DIG X-RAY D.L.SPINE AP AND LAT

The X-ray lumbar spine AP/lateral view procedure, employed by Hypro Diagnostics, stands as a non-invasive and painless diagnostic method to assess the lower back region, encompassing the sacrum and the five lumbar vertebrae (L1 to L5). This imaging technique proves invaluable in evaluating a spectrum of conditions, including traumas, infections, slipped discs, suspected tumors, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, chronic back pain, and spinal injuries. Meticulous patient preparation is crucial, involving the removal of metallic objects to prevent interference with the X-ray film, aligning with Hypro Diagnostics’ commitment to precision. Female patients are advised to disclose any pregnancy to the technician. Depending on the clinical history, patients may be positioned either upright or supine. In the supine position, hands are placed by the side, while in the upright position, the posterior-anterior (PA) view is employed, utilizing the Ferguson approach for a weight-bearing PA view. Hypro Diagnostics ensures careful adjustment of the X-ray equipment, collimation of the X-ray beam, and strict adherence to radiation safety measures for optimal imaging quality. Post-procedure, patients receive clear instructions, reflecting Hypro Diagnostics’ dedication to comprehensive patient care, and meticulous documentation guarantees a thorough record of the imaging process.
