X-ray Neck Lat

What is an X-ray Neck (Lateral View) Test?

The x-ray is used to determine what's wrong with a neck injury or if tingling, pain, or weakness won't go away. A neck x-ray can also help see if the airways are blocked by swelling in the neck or if something is stuck in the airway.

X-rays of the spine, neck, or back can be used to find out what's causing back or neck pain, fractures or broken bones, arthritis, spondylolisthesis (when one vertebra slips over the one below it), degeneration of the discs, tumors, abnormalities in the way the spine curves like kyphosis or scoliosis, or birth defects.
