Diagnopein X-RAY CERVICAL SPINE OBLIQUE Centre in Karad

Why X-Ray Cervical Spine Oblique is Important

The cervical spine supports head movement and protects vital nerves connecting the brain and body. A general X-ray may not always show the side openings or nerve channels clearly, which is why an oblique view is performed.

Key importance includes:

1. Detecting fractures, bone spurs, and early degenerative changes

2. Identifying nerve impingement or foraminal stenosis

3. Assessing cervical alignment and joint space narrowing

4. Evaluating post-injury conditions or chronic neck pain

In Karad, Diagnopein offers precise and quick cervical spine imaging to assist orthopedic specialists, neurologists, and physiotherapists in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Benefits of X-Ray Cervical Spine Oblique

Choosing an X-Ray Cervical Spine Oblique offers several health and diagnostic advantages, especially when done at a fully equipped center like Diagnopein in Karad:

1. Quick, painless, and non-invasive test

2. Early detection of bone and joint abnormalities

3. Helps rule out serious neck injuries after trauma

4. Assists in monitoring degenerative diseases like spondylosis

5. Provides complementary data alongside MRI or CT when needed

With our advanced X-ray machines and experienced radiologists, every patient at Diagnopein receives accurate results for timely medical assistance.

How the Test is Done

At Diagnopein in Karad, the X-Ray Cervical Spine Oblique is performed with comfort and proper positioning to ensure clear results. The procedure typically involves:

1. Preparation: Patients may need to remove jewelry, clothing with metal parts, or accessories around the neck and shoulders.

2. Positioning: The radiographer asks the patient to stand or sit at an angle (about 45 degrees) to capture oblique views on both sides of the cervical spine.

3. Imaging: Two to four images are taken—right and left oblique views—to visualize the spaces where the spinal nerves pass.

4. Completion: The entire procedure takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and reports are generally available the same day.

No fasting or special preparation is required for this test, making it suitable for patients of all ages.
