What is a X Ray Cervical Spine Lateral and AP View Test in Visit Clinic?
An X Ray Cervical Spine Lateral and AP View produces X-ray images of the neck bones from the side (lateral) and front-to-back (AP). It shows bone alignment, vertebral shape, spacing, and obvious fractures. The cervical spine protects the spinal cord and supports the head. This imaging helps detect broken bones, dislocations, arthritis, degenerative changes, and some infections or tumors. Doctors use these views after trauma, with persistent neck pain, or when nerve symptoms occur. They also use the images to monitor known cervical problems and to decide if more detailed scans, like CT or MRI, are needed.
