Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs: an adequate lumbar spine examination

JG Scavone, RF Latshaw, and WA Weidner

A retrospective study was designed to determine the diagnostic value of spot lateral and oblique lumbar spine radiographs in 782 patients. In only 2.4% of patients examined were these views uniquely diagnostic. Considering the additional cost, significant gonadal radiation, and limited diagnostic value, these views should be eliminated from routine lumbar spine series.
