FAQs

Can NCCT LS Spine detect a fracture?

Yes. CT provides detailed visualization of bone and is useful for detecting and characterizing vertebral fractures, including complex fractures that may not be fully demonstrated on plain X-rays.

Can NCCT LS Spine evaluate spinal canal narrowing?

Yes. CT can demonstrate bony narrowing of the spinal canal and neural foramina. MRI may be recommended when detailed assessment of nerves, discs, or the spinal cord is required.

Do I need any preparation before the scan?

Usually, no special preparation is required for a non-contrast lumbar CT. You may be asked to remove jewellery, belts, or other metallic objects that could interfere with imaging.

Will I need an MRI after NCCT LS Spine?

Depending on the findings and symptoms, your doctor may recommend MRI of the lumbar spine for detailed evaluation of intervertebral discs, nerves, spinal cord, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
