A question about a neck x-ray test. is it from front or back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple views: Depending on what they are looking for, a neck x-ray study may look from the front (ap), from the back (pa), the side (lateral), a diagonal (oblique) or even other views. Often a ct is ordered, in which case many of these views are obtained simultaneously. It depends on the reason for the study and what needs to be seen.
