About CECT Lumbar Spine
An advanced CT imaging examination that is conducted with the injection of a series of contrast materials for detailed images of the region of the lower back. It allows imaging of the lumbar spine, synovial spaces, spinal cord, nerve roots, adjacent soft tissues, and blood vessels in clear detail. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy is a centre of excellence for advanced CT technology to accurately diagnose more complicated spinal conditions.
What is CECT Lumbar Spine?
This is a special chest imaging procedure in which X-rays of the spine and the dye are used to produce clear pictures of the lumbar spine. The contrast dye enhances visibility of soft tissue, inflammation, infections, abnormal growths, as well as blood flow, and creates a more accurate evaluation of the spine. This scan is particularly advised when patients experience chronic (ongoing) back pain, following spinal incidents, suspected infections, tumours, and before certain treatment procedures.
Common Reasons for CECT Lumbar Spine
- Persistent lower back pain
- Spinal injury due to accident or trauma
- Suspected spinal infection
- Evaluation of spinal tumours or abnormal growths
- Assessment of bone abnormalities
- Investigation of nerve-related symptoms
- Evaluation before spinal surgery
- Follow-up assessment after treatment or surgery

Test information: Fasting : 04 hours
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
- Fasting for 4–6 hours may be required before the examination if intravenous contrast is to be administered. Please follow the instructions provided by your doctor or the diagnostic centre.
- Drink plenty of water before the scan unless your doctor has advised otherwise. Staying well hydrated also helps eliminate the contrast material after the examination.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and avoid wearing belts, jewellery, or other metallic objects around the lower back and waist region.
- Inform the radiographer if you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, as CT scans involve ionising radiation.
- Inform the staff if you have a history of allergy to iodinated contrast dye, asthma, kidney disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or any previous reaction to contrast injections.
- Bring your doctor's referral along with any previous X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, or spinal imaging reports related to your lumbar spine for comparison.
- Continue taking your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise. If you are taking medication for diabetes (such as Metformin), inform the radiology team before the examination.
- Inform the radiographer if you have undergone previous spine surgery, have spinal implants, screws, rods, artificial discs, or any other implanted medical devices.
- Remain as still as possible during the scan to ensure clear, high-quality images.
- Arrive at the diagnostic centre 20–30 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration, screening, and contrast preparation.
