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

Conclusion
Lumbar spine (CT) computed tomography is the diagnostic tool used for the detection of Lumbar spine abnormalities. CT lumbar spine uses X-rays for the production of cross sectional images of lumbar spine cord. The procedure is also guided by computer and this helps to create the 3D images of the lumbar spine cord. There are various tests used for the detection of abnormalities and these are MRI, CT, PET CT, X-rays, MR Angiography lumbar spine 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 lumbar spine abnormalities.
