Had a lumbar spine x ray 4 views what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spine x-rays: This just means that you will have a front view, side view and two angled views (right and left). The only thing missing are the bending views and close up view of the L5-S1 junction, which add to make the more complete "7 view" study.
