Schedule a CECT Sacral Spine at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy for the study and detection of abnormalities in the sacral spine. Using intravenous contrast through the use of our advanced Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) technique, high-resolution cross-sectional images of the sacral spine, vertebrae, spinal canal, nerves, blood vessels, and surrounding soft tissue are taken. This scan is used to accurately diagnose any collections or other abnormalities of the sacral spine, infectious diseases, inflammatory conditions, complex injuries, or tumours.
Our well-trained radiologists operate on the latest generation of state-of-the-art CT machines, generating detailed contrast-enhanced images, and report results in a timely fashion to help ensure correct diagnosis and treatment planning.
About CECT Sacral Spine
CECT Sacral Spine is a sophisticated computed tomography (CT) scan study that utilizes X-ray imaging, computer technology, and a contrast dye injected intravenously to create high-quality cross-sectional images of the sacral spine and its nearby structures. Contrast helps doctors see the soft tissues, abnormal growths, changes in inflammation, collections, and blood vessels. The scan assesses in depth the sacrum, sacral foramina, spinal canal, sacrococcygeal area, neighboring muscles, nerves, and soft tissues. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, state-of-the-art CT machines deliver clear CT images to allow for detailed analysis of complex sacral spine issues.
What is a CECT Sacral Spine?
CECT Sacral Spine is an imaging procedure without surgery and using an IV contrast dye. It uses CT technology to assess and generate detailed images of the sacral spine and surrounding structures that assist physicians in detecting abnormalities that need better assessment. This scan is often performed when a person has a tumor, infection, inflammatory disease, infection or injury to soft tissues, or fluid collections, or when a mix of trauma, or both, has occurred in the sacral region.
Common Reasons for CECT Sacral Spine
Evaluation of sacral tumours or masses
Suspected sacral bone or soft tissue infection
Persistent sacral or lower back pain
Assessment of inflammatory conditions
Evaluation of soft tissue abnormalities
Assessment of collections or abscesses
Evaluation of complex traumatic injuries
Pre-operative surgical planning
Follow-up after treatment or surgery
Conditions Evaluated
Sacral Tumours and Abnormal Growths
Helps detect and evaluate benign or malignant growths involving the sacrum and surrounding soft tissues.
Sacral Infections
Assesses inflammatory changes, collections, abscesses, and infection involving the sacral bones or adjacent tissues.
Soft Tissue Abnormalities
Provides detailed evaluation of masses, swelling, and other soft tissue changes around the sacral spine.
Inflammatory Conditions
Evaluates inflammatory changes affecting the sacral spine and surrounding structures.
Complex Traumatic Injuries
Assesses injuries involving the sacrum, sacral foramina, spinal canal, and surrounding soft tissues.
Post-Surgical and Post-Treatment Changes
Helps evaluate healing, recurrent lesions, and complications following surgery or other treatments.

Have persistent or unexplained sacral pain
Have a suspected sacral tumour or mass
Have suspected bone or soft tissue infection
Have unexplained swelling in the sacral region
Have sustained a significant injury
Require detailed imaging before surgery
Need follow-up imaging after treatment

यदि आपको पहले कभी कॉन्ट्रास्ट से एलर्जी, किडनी की बीमारी, डायबिटीज रही है या आप कोई दवा ले रहे हैं, विशेष रूप से मेटफॉर्मिन, तो डॉक्टर या रेडियोलॉजी टीम को अवश्य बताएं।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर या रेडियोग्राफर को अवश्य बताएं।
आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें तथा बेल्ट, आभूषण या स्कैन वाले क्षेत्र के आसपास की अन्य धातु की वस्तुएं हटा दें।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो अपनी पुरानी CT स्कैन, MRI, एक्स-रे या अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिपोर्ट साथ लेकर आएं।
दवाइयों या कॉन्ट्रास्ट देने से संबंधित डॉक्टर द्वारा दिए गए अतिरिक्त निर्देशों का पालन करें।
पंजीकरण और तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 15–20 मिनट पहले केंद्र पर पहुंचें।
You will be asked to lie comfortably on the CT scan table.
The radiographer will position you correctly, and the table will move slowly through the CT scanner.
A contrast material will be administered through an intravenous line to enhance visualization of the sacral spine and surrounding soft tissues.
Detailed cross-sectional images of the sacrum, sacral foramina, spinal canal, surrounding muscles, nerves, and soft tissues will be captured.
You may be asked to remain still and hold your breath briefly during image acquisition, if required.
The scan is generally painless and usually takes 10–15 minutes, although preparation and contrast administration may take additional time.
The images are reviewed by an experienced radiologist, and reports are generally available within 4 hours.
