Service Providers for CT Scan of Scoliogram
A CT scan of a scoliogram is used to assess the curvature of the spine, commonly in individuals with scoliosis. It helps to evaluate the degree of curvature and detect any abnormalities in the spinal structure. During the procedure, you will lie on a table while the scanner takes detailed cross-sectional images of the spine, particularly the areas affected by scoliosis. Preparation involves removing metal objects, such as jewelry or clothing with zippers. The procedure is painless, though contrast dye may be used to enhance image clarity. Risks include allergic reactions to contrast dye and radiation exposure. Results are interpreted by analyzing the images to determine the severity of the curvature and any associated abnormalities. Afterward, you can resume normal activities.
