7000

Get your CECT Dorso-Lumbar Spine done at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, which is an NABL- and NABH-accredited diagnostic centre. Using intravenous contrast dye, Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) technology produces high-resolution cross-sectional images of the dorsal spine, lumbar spine, vertebrae, spinal canal, nerves, and surrounding soft tissue. This scan aids doctors in assessing the dorso-lumbar spine for tumors, infections, inflammation, collections, traumatic injury, and other problems. We use the latest technology in CT to provide accurate imaging and to report the results quickly by our highly trained radiology team.

About CECT Dorso-Lumbar Spine

CECT Dorso-Lumbar Spine is a computer-enhanced X-ray procedure that involves the use of intravenous dye to provide detailed cross-sectional images of the dorsal and lumbar vertebrae and surrounding tissues. Contrast enhances the visualization of the soft tissues, abnormal tissue, inflammation, collections, and other pathological conditions. The examination evaluates:

  • Vertebrae: Dorsal and lumbar vertebral bodies and associated bony structures
  • Spinal Canal: Evaluation of the spinal canal and surrounding structures
  • Soft Tissues: Muscles, ligaments, and paraspinal soft tissues
  • Neural Structures: Visual assessment of the nerve-related structures and surrounding tissues
  • Abnormal Lesions: Masses, collections, inflammatory changes, and other abnormalities

What is a CECT Dorso-Lumbar Spine?

A CECT Dorso-Lumbar Spine is a composite computed tomography (CT) scan of the spine done with intravenous (intra-venous) dye. It provides detailed images of the dorsal and lumbar spine and its neighboring anatomical structures to assist physicians in detecting abnormalities with a need for further and more detailed evaluation. It is advised for suspected tumours, infections, inflammatory conditions, collections, complex injuries, and known abnormalities of the spine.

Common Reasons for CECT Dorso-Lumbar Spine

  • Evaluation of spinal tumours or masses
  • Suspected vertebral or spinal infection
  • Persistent or unexplained back pain
  • Assessment of inflammatory conditions
  • Evaluation of paraspinal soft tissue abnormalities
  • Assessment of collections or abscesses
  • Complex spinal traumatic injuries
  • Pre-operative surgical planning
  • Follow-up after treatment or surgery

Conditions Evaluated

Spinal Tumours and Abnormal Growths

Helps detect and evaluate abnormal growths involving the vertebrae, spinal canal, or surrounding soft tissues.

Spinal Infections

Assesses inflammatory changes, collections, abscesses, and infection involving the vertebrae or adjacent tissues.

Inflammatory Conditions

Evaluates inflammatory changes involving the spine and surrounding soft tissues.

Paraspinal Soft Tissue Abnormalities

Provides detailed evaluation of masses, swelling, collections, and other abnormalities around the spine.

Complex Traumatic Injuries

Assesses injuries involving the dorsal and lumbar vertebrae and surrounding structures.

Post-Surgical and Post-Treatment Changes

Helps evaluate healing, recurrent lesions, and complications following spinal surgery or other treatments.

Who Should Consider This Scan?

Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:

  • Have persistent or unexplained dorso-lumbar pain
  • Have a suspected spinal tumour or mass
  • Have suspected vertebral or spinal infection
  • Have unexplained swelling or a collection around the spine
  • Have sustained a significant spinal injury
  • Require detailed imaging before surgery
  • Need follow-up imaging after treatment
