CT Lumbar Spine With & Without Contrast
About Test
A CT lumbar spine with and without contrast is a medical imaging test that creates detailed images of the lower back, specifically the lumbar spine. The test is typically performed to help diagnose and evaluate a variety of conditions affecting the lumbar spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, tumors, or infections.
The "with contrast" part of the test involves the use of a contrast agent, which is a special dye that is injected into the patient's vein. The contrast material helps enhance the images of the lumbar spine and can provide more detailed information to the doctor, such as the location and extent of a tumor or infection.
The "without contrast" part of the test is performed before the contrast material is injected, and it provides a baseline image of the lumbar spine. After the "without contrast" images are obtained, the contrast material is injected and additional images are captured to provide a more complete picture of the lumbar spine.
