Understanding NCCT Scan Craniovertebral Junction (CVJ)

What is NCCT Scan Craniovertebral Junction (CVJ)?

CT CVJ also called Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan of the Cranio-Vertebral Junction (CVJ) is a diagnostic procedure where rotating beams of X-rays are used to create cross-sectional images of the Cranio-Vertebral Junction. CVJ is the joint of the skull and the vertebral ( spinal) column.

This test is prescribed to assess the integrity of the CVJ, to diagnose any suspected inflammation or infection of the craniovertebral junction, and to show the presence of a very rare complex CVJ malformation. Some of the anomalies of the CVJ are trauma to the bones or the supporting ligaments of the CVJ, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and genetic syndromes like Down syndrome.

It is a highly accurate and safe method.
