CT SCAN OF C.SPINE

A cervical spine CT scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure employing X-rays and advanced computer technology to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the neck’s bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels. This imaging technique is particularly valuable for assessing various medical conditions impacting the cervical spine, composed of seven vertebrae denoted as C1 to C7. Commonly, Hypro Diagnostics orders CT scans of the cervical spine in cases of trauma, such as car accidents or falls, to assess fractures, dislocations, or injuries. They are also instrumental in diagnosing degenerative conditions like arthritis, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis. These scans can identify infections, tumors, or abnormal growths, aiding in early detection and treatment planning for Hypro Diagnostics. Pre-surgical planning often involves CT scans to provide surgeons with a detailed understanding of cervical spine structures. While CT scans involve exposure to ionizing radiation, the clinical benefits derived from accurate and comprehensive imaging typically outweigh potential risks, with healthcare professionals at Hypro Diagnostics guiding the process to ensure optimal patient care.
