What is an X-ray of the LS spine lateral flexion?plus

An X‑ray of the lumbosacral (LS) spine in lateral flexion is a side‑bending radiograph taken with the patient bending left and right. It evaluates spinal alignment, segmental mobility, and dynamic instability (for example, spondylolisthesis or fusion assessment). It's used for unexplained low back pain or pre/postoperative evaluation. The test is quick, low‑radiation, and often done with neutral and extension views.

What are the 4 views of the lumbar spine?plus

The four standard views of the lumbar spine are anteroposterior (AP), lateral, oblique, and flexion–extension (dynamic) views. AP shows vertebral body alignment and disc spaces; lateral demonstrates vertebral height, canal and sagittal alignment; oblique views visualize facet joints; flexion–extension films assess segmental instability, spondylolisthesis or abnormal motion. These views together give a comprehensive assessment for fractures, degenerative disease and instability.

What is the lateral flexion of the lumbar spine?plus

Lateral flexion of the lumbar spine is side‑bending of the lower back in the coronal plane. It occurs through small, segmental movements between lumbar vertebrae and is primarily produced by the quadratus lumborum, internal/external obliques and ipsilateral erector spinae. Motion is limited by facet joint orientation and intervertebral discs; typical active range is roughly 15–20 degrees to each side in healthy adults.

What is lumbar flexion and extension?plus

Lumbar flexion is forward bending of the lower spine that decreases the angle between trunk and pelvis, activating abdominal muscles and stretching posterior spinal ligaments and facets; it increases anterior disc pressure. Lumbar extension is backward bending that increases lumbar lordosis, engages paraspinal and gluteal muscles, compresses posterior elements and can relieve anterior disc loading but may irritate facet joints, perform both within pain-free limits.

How should I prepare for X RAY LUMBAR SPINE STANDING TRUE LATERAL FLEXION & EXTENSION VIEW?plus

Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners and remove jewellery before X RAY LUMBAR SPINE STANDING TRUE LATERAL FLEXION & EXTENSION VIEW. Bring your referral, ID, and any earlier scans so the radiologist can compare.

Is X RAY LUMBAR SPINE STANDING TRUE LATERAL FLEXION & EXTENSION VIEW safe if I am pregnant?plus

Tell the centre before X RAY LUMBAR SPINE STANDING TRUE LATERAL FLEXION & EXTENSION VIEW if you are or might be pregnant. Ultrasound and MRI use no ionising radiation; for X-ray or CT the team will decide the safest approach or suggest an alternative.
