    • CECT LUMBAR SPINE (CONTRAST)

      • CECT LUMBAR SPINE (CONTRAST)

      Also Known As:

      CT Lumbar Spine with Contrast

      CECT L-Spine

      Contrast Enhanced CT Lower Back

      Lumbar Spinal Canal CT with Contrast

      This Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography of the lumbar spine involves the administration of a contrast agent to improve the clarity of soft tissue and vascular structures. It is particularly useful for assessing postoperative changes, identifying spinal abscesses, or evaluating suspected malignancies within the lower spine. The contrast medium helps delineate nerve roots and vascular networks, providing a higher level of diagnostic precision. This comprehensive scan is a vital step for patients requiring advanced imaging for complex spinal pathologies and clinical management.

      Includes 4 Test Parameters

    • Technique

      Lumbar spine CT performed with intravenous iodinated contrast.

    • Purpose

      To evaluate for failed back surgery syndrome, spinal cord inflammation, or metastatic deposits.

    • Area Covered

      The lower spinal canal, nerve roots, and associated vascularity.

    • Key Clinical Point

      Vital for detecting "Arachnoiditis" or infections in patients with chronic post-surgical pain.

      • Includes Test 5 Parameters

      It is often used after surgery to tell the difference between "scar tissue" and a "re-herniated disc," or to look for infections.

      Yes, contrast highlights pockets of infection (abscesses) that can occur in the spinal canal or surrounding muscles.

      Yes, it is used to check if cancer from other parts of the body has spread (metastasized) to the lumbar vertebrae.

      Many patients feel a brief "warm flush" or a metallic taste in their mouth during the injection; this is a normal reaction.

      Yes, drinking plenty of fluids helps flush the contrast dye out of your kidneys and system.
