CECT Scan Craniovertebral Junction (CVJ) near me in Pune

The CECT Scan Craniovertebral Junction (CVJ) is an imaging technique to create cross-sectional images of the Cranio-Vertebral Junction, which is the joint of the skull and vertebral column. A contrast is injected into the vein to improve the clarity of the images of the body’s internal structure. This also improves the diagnostic accuracy of the CT scan.

This test is prescribed by the doctor to create cross-sectional images of the Cranio-Vertebral Junction, diagnose any suspected inflammation or infection of the CVJ, and show the presence of a very rare complex CVJ malformation. Its primary use is to determine whether a brain stroke is hemorrhagic or ischemic.

CT exams generally use a small amount of radiation and are therefore considered relatively safer as compared to X-rays.
