Know how to find out about Chronic Pain
Computed tomography (CT) of the spine is an imaging test that is used to help diagnose (or rule
out) damage to the spine in patients with injuries by Chronic Pain Doctor. CT scanning is rapid,
painless, non-invasive, and accurate. In cases of emergency, it can reveal internal injuries and

What is the scan of the spine by CT?
Computed tomography, more typically recognized as a CT scan, is a medical diagnostic test that,
like traditional x-rays, produces multiple images or pictures of the inside of the body.
The transversal images generated during a CT scan can be reformatted in multiple planes, and
three-dimensional images can even be generated. These images can be viewed on a computer
monitor, printed on a plate or with a 3D printer, or transferred to a CD or DVD.
CT images of internal organs, bones, soft tissues, or blood vessels provide more detail than
conventional x-ray examinations, particularly in the case of soft tissues and blood vessels.
Using CT, the bone structure of the vertebrae of the spine is observed clearly and precisely, as
well as the intervertebral discs and, to some extent, the soft tissues of the spinal cord .

out, damage to the spine in patients who have been injured.
The CT scan of the spine is also done to:

• Accurately measure bone density in the spine and estimate if there is a likelihood of vertebral
fractures in patients at risk of osteoporosis .
• Evaluate congenital abnormalities of the spine. or scoliosis.
• Detect different types of tumours in the spine, even those that have spread there from another
part of the body. Some tumours that appear elsewhere are first identified by the finding of
malignant cell deposits in the vertebrae; Prostate cancer is an example.
• Guide diagnostic procedures such as biopsy of suspicious areas to detect cancer or eliminate
fluid from a localized infection.
