Why X-Ray Lumbar Spine Oblique-Both is Needed
Doctors often recommend the X-Ray Lumbar Spine Oblique-Both for patients experiencing lower back pain, stiffness, or suspected vertebral injuries. It is particularly important for identifying defects in the vertebral arch (pars interarticularis) and assessing facet joint health.
Common conditions diagnosed using this X-ray include:
-
Spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis
-
Disc degeneration or arthritis
-
Vertebral fractures and spinal alignment issues
-
Narrowing of foramina (spinal nerve passage)
At Diagnopein Karad, our imaging experts use advanced techniques to minimize exposure and deliver fast, precise results for both diagnostic and follow-up evaluation.
Importance and Benefits of the Test
The X-Ray Lumbar Spine Oblique-Both plays a vital role in early detection and management of spine-related disorders. Its importance lies in providing visual evidence that guides further treatment such as physiotherapy, medication, or surgery.
Key benefits include:
-
Comprehensive visualization of both right and left oblique views.
-
Clear detection of subtle bone defects or injuries.
-
Quick, safe, and cost-effective diagnostic option.
-
Helps monitor recovery progress after spinal procedures.
At Diagnopein Karad, patients benefit from a hygienic environment, skilled technicians, and quick turnaround for X-ray reports.
Procedure and Parameters
The X-Ray Lumbar Spine Oblique-Both is a simple, non-invasive test that takes about 10–15 minutes. Patients are asked to lie or stand in specific oblique positions—first on one side, then the other—while the X-ray machine captures both angled images.
Steps involved:
-
You may be asked to remove any metal accessories or clothing that might interfere with imaging.
-
The technologist positions your body at approximately a 45-degree angle to the X-ray beam.
-
Both right and left oblique views are taken to compare the sides.
-
Images are processed and reviewed by a radiologist to interpret findings.
Key parameters captured:
-
Lumbar vertebral alignment
-
Facet joint spacing and shape
-
Bone density and structural integrity
-
Pars interarticularis visibility
Following the test, results are analyzed by experts at Diagnopein Karad and shared with your doctor for tailored diagnosis and treatment planning.
