Clinically, if a lesion occurs in the lumbar spine and a radiograph is required for examination, the specific cost is not clearly defined because it depends on what specific radiographs are taken. If an X-ray of the lumbar spine is taken, it costs about$110 in clinical practice to take an X-ray of both the frontal and lateral positions. If a CT film of the lumbar spine is taken, a 16-row CT film costs about$270. If a 64-row CT film is taken, the approximate cost will be more than$400. If an MRI of the lumbar spine is taken, it will cost about 510 yuan. Therefore, the kind of film taken in clinical practice needs to be taken under the doctor’s diagnosis and according to the doctor’s recommendation. In addition, there are slight differences in price depending on the region and the level of the hospital.
