  • CECT LUMBO-SACRAL SPINE (CONTRAST)

    Also Known As:

    CT L-S Spine with Contrast

    CECT Lumbosacral Spine

    Contrast Enhanced CT Lower Back/Sacrum

    This Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography of the lumbo-sacral spine provides high-resolution imaging of the lower spine and sacral region with the aid of intravenous contrast dye. It is specifically used to evaluate complex nerve root issues, spinal tumors, or infections that require clear differentiation from surrounding tissues. The enhancement provides a detailed view of the vascular supply and soft tissue boundaries, making it an indispensable diagnostic tool for neurologists and orthopedic specialists managing advanced spinal and pelvic conditions.


    Includes 4 Test Parameters

  • Technique

    Contrast-enhanced CT scan of the lumbosacral region.

  • Purpose

    To evaluate pelvic-origin tumors invading the spine or complex lumbosacral plexopathy.

  • Area Covered

    The lower spinal canal and the sacral nerve roots.

  • Key Clinical Point

    Essential for assessing "Chordomas" or other primary bone tumors of the sacrum.


  • Includes Test 5 Parameters

    It is primarily used to investigate suspected tumors, deep pelvic infections, or "Arteriovenous Malformations" (AVMs).

    Yes, contrast clearly shows infections in the large psoas muscles that run alongside the lower spine.

    The scan takes 1-2 minutes, but the IV setup and contrast timing take about 20-30 minutes total.

    You can usually take your regular meds, but inform the staff if you are taking Metformin for diabetes.

    A common side effect of the contrast is a warm sensation that feels like you are peeing, but you aren't actually doing so.
