Service Providers for Spiral CT Scan of Dorsal/Thoracic Spine
A Spiral CT Scan of the Dorsal/Thoracic Spine is a diagnostic procedure that uses X-rays to create detailed images of the upper and middle back (thoracic spine). It is used to detect conditions like fractures, tumors, infections, herniated discs, or spinal deformities. During the procedure, you lie on a table while the CT scanner rotates around your body to capture cross-sectional images. Preparation typically involves removing jewelry and wearing a hospital gown. If contrast material is needed, it may be injected. The procedure carries risks of radiation exposure, and results help guide treatment decisions, including surgery if necessary.
