X-RAY DORSAL SPINE FLEXION VIEW

Also Known As:

D-Spine Flexion

Thoracic Spine Flexion

Dynamic T-Spine Radiograph

Mid-Back Flexion View

X-Ray Dorsal Spine Flexion View is a specialized imaging test used to examine the dorsal (thoracic) spine while the patient bends forward (flexion position). This view helps doctors evaluate the movement, alignment, and stability of the thoracic vertebrae during motion. It is commonly recommended for patients with back pain, suspected ligament injury, spinal instability, trauma, or degenerative spine conditions. The flexion view is often performed along with the extension view to compare spinal movement. The procedure is quick, painless, and usually completed within a few minutes.

Includes 4 Test Parameters

Technique

Specialized lateral X-ray taken while the patient bends the upper back forward.

Purpose

To evaluate vertebral alignment and potential instability during forward motion.

Area Covered

The dorsal (thoracic) spine during flexion.

Key Clinical Point

Comparison with the extension view helps diagnose ligamentous laxity.

Includes Test 5 Parameters

You will be asked to bend your upper body forward as if reaching for your toes during the scan.

It helps doctors understand if your back pain is related to restricted movement or "locking" of the joints.

While it focuses on the spine, the rib connections to the vertebrae are also visible.

It refers to gradual wear and tear of the spine, which is often more visible when the spine is bent.

The X-ray takes only a fraction of a second, minimizing your radiation exposure.
