Lumbar spine views
Normal lumber spine X-ray views typically consist of four primary projections: anteroposterior (AP), lateral, oblique, and flexion-extension views. The AP view is taken from the front to assess vertebral alignment and identify any fractures or deformities. The lateral view provides a side view of the lumbar vertebrae, allowing evaluation of the intervertebral disc spaces, alignment, and spinal curvature. Oblique views are useful for visualizing the neural Downloade r
