Details of X-RAY LUMBAR SPINE AP
What is X-RAY LUMBAR SPINE AP?
The lumbar spine anteroposterior or posteroanterior view images the lumbar spine in its anatomical position. The lumbar spine generally consists of five vertebrae (see: lumbosacral transitional vertebra).
Indications
This projection is utilized in many imaging contexts including trauma, postoperatively, and for chronic conditions. Ideally, spinal imaging should be taken erect in the non-trauma setting to give a functional overview of the lumbar spine. Otherwise, patients with a suspected spinal injury must remain in the supine position without any movement.
Patient position
  • the patient is erect or supine, depending on clinical history
  • in the supine projection, hands are placed by the patient's side
  • if performing erect, position the patient in the PA position; this has numerous advantages including reduced dose to the gonadal region and utilization of beam divergence; arms can be placed by the side, or the handlebars of the erect Bucky can be held for patient stability. The weight bearing PA view can be called the Ferguson technique.
Technical factors
  • Anteroposterior projection
  • Suspended expiration (for a uniform density)
  • Centering point
    • the level of the iliac crests at the MSP
    • the central ray is perpendicular to the image receptor
  • Collimation
    • superiorly to include the T12/L1 junction
    • inferior to include the sacral region
    • lateral to include the transverse processes and sacroiliac joints
  • Orientation
    • portrait
  • Detector Size
    • 35 cm x 43 cm
  • Exposure
    • 70-80 kVp
    • 40-60 mAs
  • SID
    • 110 cm
  • Grid
    • Yes (ensure the correct grid is selected if using focused grids)
