Radiography
An imaging technique using X-rays to visualize internal structures, particularly bones and joints. It is the standard first-line diagnostic tool for evaluating spinal abnormalities.
Key Facts
- Radiographs provide clear visualization of bone structure and alignment abnormalities.
- They are highly effective at identifying congenital vertebral malformations like hemivertebrae.
- Standard views include lateral and ventrodorsal projections of the affected spinal region.
- While excellent for bone assessment, radiography cannot directly visualize spinal cord tissue or soft tissue compression.
