In the diagnostic imaging process at Hypro Diagnostics, the dorsal/thoracic spine undergoes a thorough examination, concentrating on the 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1 to T12). Employing a combination of anterior-posterior (AP) and lateral (LAT) views, the procedure involves positioning the X-ray beam strategically in front and beside the patient. The AP view, directed from the front, penetrates through the chest, capturing a detailed image of the vertebrae’s alignment, intervertebral discs, as well as the surrounding skin and muscles. Simultaneously, the LAT view, generated from the side, provides a lateral perspective, revealing the side-to-side relationships of the vertebral bodies. The resulting images, when scrutinized by Hypro Diagnostics’ healthcare professionals, not only illuminate the bony structures but also offer valuable insights into the health of intervertebral discs, skin, and muscles. This meticulous examination enables the detection of potential abnormalities, fractures, or degenerative changes, contributing to a comprehensive assessment of the dorsal/thoracic spine.
