What can X Ray Cervical Spine AP View help detect?

The conditions diagnosable through X Ray Cervical Spine AP View depend on the specific markers the test measures. Results either confirm a suspected diagnosis, support a clinical suspicion requiring further investigation, or effectively exclude the condition the test was screening for. Abnormal results can be caused by accidents, wear-and-tear degeneration, inflammatory disease, infection, or tumors. A family history of congenital spine problems or hereditary connective tissue disorders may make this view more important.

What do X Ray Cervical Spine AP View results mean?

Findings are graded from normal to significant, and comparison with any previous scan shows whether a known finding is stable, improving, or progressing. Your doctor explains the report in the context of your symptoms. See the FAQs below for more detail on this scan.
