X-Ray CERVICAL SPINE WITH OBLIQUES FLEXION EXTENSION
About Test
An X-ray of the cervical spine with obliques, flexion, and extension is a type of imaging test that is used to evaluate the bones and soft tissues of the neck. The test involves taking X-ray images of the cervical spine, which is the upper part of the spine that includes the vertebrae in the neck.
The "obliques" component refers to the angle at which the X-ray images are taken, which allows the healthcare provider to view the cervical spine from different angles.
The "flexion and extension" component involves tilting the head forward and backward to allow the healthcare provider to see how the vertebrae move and interact with one another during movement.
The test is often used to evaluate a range of conditions that affect the cervical spine, such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or fractures. It can also help to identify any abnormalities, such as bone spurs or changes in the alignment of the vertebrae.
During the test, the patient will stand or sit in front of an X-ray machine while the images are taken. The procedure is non-invasive and painless, and typically takes only a few minutes to complete. It's important to note that X-rays use a small amount of radiation, so healthcare providers may limit the use of X-rays in some patients, such as pregnant women. However, the amount of radiation used in an X-ray is generally considered to be safe for most people. As with any medical test, patients should discuss any concerns or questions with their healthcare provider before undergoing the test.
