Book your NCCT Cervical Spine at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, which is an NABL & NABH-accredited diagnostics centre. NCCT Cervical Spine is a non-contrast neck scan that produces detailed images of the vertebrae, spinal canal, facet joints, intervertebral spaces, and other important neck bones to assess the condition of the cervical spine region. It is particularly useful to assess neck or cervical spine injuries, if fracture or disc degeneration is suspected, to grow abnormalities or deformities in spine movement, and for other problems involving abnormalities of the cervical spine.

About NCCT Cervical Spine

An advanced computed tomography imaging test to detail the cross-sectional imaging of the cervical spine. It shows a fairly good view of the cervical vertebrae, the alignment of the spine, the facet joints, the vertebral arches, and the surrounding bone structure. The examination is especially significant if there is a neck injury or some kind of trauma has occurred; if a cervical fracture is suspected; if the person's neck pain doesn't go away; or if there is a need to examine the cervical spine in detail, for example, with degenerative spine problems or other issues.

What is NCCT Cervical Spine?

NCCT Cervical Spine refers to a technique that provides detailed cross-sectional images of the cervical spine (neck) using X-ray-based computed tomography (CT) technology. The exam can reveal a lot of detail about cervical spine abnormalities, including fractures, bone abnormalities, degenerative changes, and vertebral alignment.

Common Reasons for NCCT Cervical Spine

Neck Pain

If the neck pain has not resolved or is unexplained, the vertebrae and other bones of the cervical spine may be seen in detail by a procedure called NCCT Cervical Spine.

Cervical Spine Injury

If there is a possibility that the person has fractured, dislocated, or suffered other trauma to the body following a fall, injury, or sports-related incident, CT can be used in order to detect if there is an injury.

Suspected Cervical Fracture

The use of NCCT to obtain high-resolution images of the cervical vertebrae can be helpful to assess possible cervical fracture(s) that can require urgent medical management.

Restricted Neck Movement

Imaging may be helpful if the neck is difficult to move without pain or if there are troublesome structural abnormalities or if there are degenerative changes.

Degenerative Changes

CT may be useful for looking for any changes to the bone that may occur with cervical spondylosis and other changes occurring in the cervical spine.

Suspected Spinal Alignment Abnormality

The exam may be used for assessing misalignment or problems with positioning of the cervical vertebrae.

Follow-Up After Injury or Surgery

NCCT can be used to evaluate healing, realignment, or other changes in the bones after treatment or surgery of the neck or spine.

Conditions Evaluated

Cervical Spine Fractures

The cervical vertebrae can be viewed in detail by NCCT, even in severe traumatic fractures.

Cervical Vertebral Abnormalities

The exam checks for any abnormalities of the bones or joints of the cervical spine.

Cervical Spondylosis

Assessment of degenerative bony changes (osteophytes), facet joint degeneration, and other cervical spondylosis can be done.

Spinal Alignment Abnormalities

With the use of CT imaging, the alignment of the cervical vertebrae can be evaluated, and the presence of any dislocations or abnormal positioning can be detected.

Facet Joint Abnormalities

Facet joints can be evaluated for abnormal traumatic changes, structural abnormalities, and degenerative changes.

Bone Lesions

NCCT can be useful in differentiating and identifying some focal bone lesions, skeletal deformities of growth plates, or any other bone abnormalities located in the cervical spine.

Traumatic Changes

An exam can assess cervical spine trauma after road traffic incidents, falls, sporting events, or other trauma.

Post-Surgical Changes

NCCT is useful for evaluating bony changes and alignment following cervical spine surgery and for follow-up.
