In this article, we will discuss the uses of CT Spine in detecting the Spine abnormalities. We will also discuss some common questions related to CT Spine.
Spine CT (computed tomography) or CT scan Spine is non-invasive radiological tool which uses X-rays for the detection of abnormalities in the Spine and surrounding area. CT Spine is used to look for various abnormalities like Spinal injuries, Spinal fractures, Spinal infections, tumors, cancers, vessels and nerves of spine etc. CT uses X-rays to create the 3D images of Spine by taking picture though various angles and processed by computer. CT Spine give more detailed information than simple X-rays but is expensive than X-ray procedure.
What is Spine CT?
Spine CT (Computed Tomography) is the non invasive diagnostic technique which uses X-rays for the detection of Spine abnormalities. CT Spine can detect abnormalities like Spine injuries, Spine fractures, Spine infections, blood vessel problems etc. CT uses X-rays and help to take the pictures from various angles with the help of computer and forms 3D pictures. CT Spine can be done with or without the use of contrast based on need and suggested by doctor.
What is Spine CT with contrast (CECT Spine)?
Spine CT with contrast also called contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) is the advanced level of CT which uses contrast material for the detection of abnormalities in the Spine. In the contrast Spine CT procedure, Iodine based material is used as contrast and injected through IV for good diagnostic images. Contrast material in Spine CT will help to enhance the picture quality of the Spine and give the detection of abnormalities.
What are the Uses of CT Spine?
There are various uses of CT Spine and some are given below:
- To look for Spine injuries
- Used to look for tumors in spine
- To look for Spine fractures
- To look for blood vessels of spine
- To look for nerves of spine
- Disc of spine
- Birth defects of spine
- Guide the treatment for spine

Conclusion
Spine (CT) computed tomography is the diagnostic tool used for the detection of Spine abnormalities. CT spine uses X-rays for the production of cross sectional images of spinal cord. The procedure is also guided by computer and this helps to create the 3D images of the spinal cord. There are various tests used for the detection of abnormalities and these are spinal cord fracture, injury, birth defects, discs etc. CT can be done with or without the use of contrast material. Contrast material used in this procedure helps to clear images and easy detection of spinal abnormalities.
