Book Spine X-Ray Appointment

A spine X-ray is the first-line imaging study for evaluating back pain, spinal alignment, and vertebral abnormalities. Whether the concern involves the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) spine, X-ray provides immediate visualization of the vertebral bodies, disc spaces, facet joints, and overall spinal curvature. At DCDC in Dubai Healthcare City, our digital spine X-ray system captures high-resolution images that allow precise assessment of bone structure and alignment.

Your doctor may order a spine X-ray for chronic or acute back pain, suspected fractures after trauma, scoliosis screening in adolescents, post-surgical evaluation, or to investigate degenerative changes. Standard views include anteroposterior (AP) and lateral projections, with oblique views added when needed to assess the neural foramina or facet joints. Each view takes only seconds to capture, and the entire examination is completed in under 15 minutes.

Scoliosis assessment is one of the most important applications of spine X-ray. A standing full-spine AP view allows measurement of the Cobb angle, the standard metric for quantifying spinal curvature. This measurement is essential for monitoring progression in adolescents, determining whether bracing is indicated, and planning surgical intervention when curvature exceeds critical thresholds.
