What is an X-Ray Lumbar Sacrum Spine AP/LAT?
An X-Ray Lumbar Sacrum Spine AP/LAT is a common radiological test that captures detailed images of the lumbar (lower back) and sacral (pelvic) bones in two views — Anteroposterior (AP) and Lateral (LAT).
-
The AP view shows the spine from front to back.
-
The Lateral view shows it from the side.
Together, these views help radiologists visualize the alignment, spacing, and structural details of the lumbar vertebrae and sacrum. This test is crucial for identifying causes of lower back pain, injury, or deformity.
Why is X-Ray Lumbar Sacrum Spine AP/LAT Important?
Your doctor may recommend a Lumbar Sacrum X-Ray if you experience:
-
Chronic lower back or pelvic pain
-
Limited spine movement or stiffness
-
Post-injury evaluation (falls or sports injuries)
-
Suspected disc degeneration or spondylosis
-
Sciatica, nerve compression, or spinal misalignment
It’s also used to monitor post-surgical recovery and detect issues like fractures, bone infections, or arthritis in the lumbar region.
At Diagnopein Karad, we ensure an accurate, quick, and comfortable X-ray experience under expert supervision.

Procedure: How the Test is Done
The procedure for Lumbar Sacrum X-Ray AP/LAT is simple and painless.
-
The radiographer will ask you to remove any metallic objects and wear a protective lead apron to reduce radiation exposure.
-
You will be asked to lie down or stand in two positions — one for AP (front) and one for LAT (side) projection.
-
Once positioned correctly, the technician will capture images using a digital X-Ray machine.
-
The process takes only 10–15 minutes, and results are ready within a few hours.
