CT Cervico-Dorsal Spine With Contrast
Overview
What is CT Cervico-Dorsal Spine With Contrast?
The CT Cervico-Dorsal Spine With Contrast is a safe and advanced scan that helps doctors detect spinal injuries or fractures, inflammation, genetic defects, tumors, arthritis, infections, and other abnormalities. A contrast material is injected into the cerebrospinal fluid (fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord) or in the blood. The contrast and rotating X-ray beams create clear images of your spinal column, specifically, your neck region (cervical spine) and the base of the neck to the bottom of your rib cage (dorsal region).
You may feel a metallic taste or a warm sensation in your body because of the contrast material. Consult a spine specialist at Ivyclique if you are experiencing unexplained back pain, loss of feeling, or restricted mobility.
Why is CT Cervico-Dorsal Spine With Contrast done?
