The series is often utilized in the context of trauma, postoperative imaging and for chronic conditions such as ankylosing spondylosis.

The lumbar spine series is comprised of two standard projections along with a range of additional projections depending on clinical indications. One of the five bones situated between the thoracic vertebrae and the sacrum in the lower part of the spine.
This exit opening on the side of spine through which these bigger nerves comes out is called a “foramina”.Those vertebrae between the ribs and the pelvis, L1-L5 in man. It starts sending out branches that exits out between the the adjacent bones. It extend from the base of skull, hanging inside the spinal canal. Spinal cord is safely housed inside a bony tunnel called spinal canal. It is no wonder that both brain and spinal cord are protected well inside bony skull and spine respectively. Brain works as a computer or a central processor, spinal cord as the main cable carrying origins or ends of extensions, the nerves. There is some variation to this as some only have 4 vertebrae.
Nerves carry micro-electrical signals back and forth connecting brain to internal organs, joints, bones, tendons, muscles, skin and other tissues via spinal cord as the connecting cable. The normal adult lumbar spine (low back) has 5 vertebral bodies (bones). Peripheral System which includes the Nerves.
