3D CT LS Spine
Medifyhome provides a high-end 3D CT LS (Lumbo-Sacral) Spine Scan, providing more accuracy than any other to diagnose the spinal condition. This is a non-invasive imaging technique that will capture detailed cross-sectional images of the lower spine, including lumbar vertebrae, sacrum, and surrounding structures. It is the most often used technique for diagnosing the presence of fractures, disc herniation, degenerative changes, and other conditions affecting spinal alignment or functionality.
Our advanced 3D CT technology allows us to create higher resolution images, which allow better assessment of complex spinal cases. Medifyhome focuses on patient comfort with easy booking, minimal waiting time, and experienced professionals who make the scanning process smooth. The scan is used both for pre-surgical evaluation and routine diagnostics to give critical insights for treatment plans.
Quality care in Medifyhome with support from NABL and ICMR-accredited labs, along with skilled radiologists working for accurate reporting. Come to us for diagnostic services that are reliable, patient-centric, and priced correctly.
What is a 3D CT LS Spine Scan?
A 3D CT LS Spine scan is a type of imaging test that generates high-resolution, three-dimensional images of the lumbar spine in the lower back. Utilizing X-ray technology in conjunction with computer processing, this test creates cross-sectional views of the spine. This means that the doctor will be able to identify abnormalities in the bones and discs, as well as tissues of the lower back and diagnose herniated discs, fractures, or spinal deformity. The 3D capability provides a much more accurate view, helping with providing proper diagnoses and treatment planning.
How Does a 3D CT LS Spine Scan Work?
- A patient is placed on a CT scanner table, and the region of the lumbar spine is centered in the scanner.
- The scanner revolves around the body, sending X-rays to take images from various angles.
- A computer analyzes data from these images to produce cross-sectional slices of the spine.
- These slices are reconstructed in a 3D image to better visualize the spine.
- The scan permits the physician to examine bone structures and soft tissues in great detail.
- The entire process usually takes 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the level of complication of the scan.
Benefits of a 3D CT LS Spine Scan:
- It provides high-resolution images of the lumbar spine with more detail of bone and soft tissue structures.
- Accurate diagnosis of spinal conditions, such as herniated discs, fractures, and degenerative diseases.
- Non-invasive assessment of the spine can avoid exploratory surgery.
- Enables accurate 3D reconstruction, which is useful for surgical planning or intervention.
- Better detection of spinal deformities, including scoliosis or spinal stenosis, improves management.
- It minimizes the possibility of a misdiagnosis since the scan is clear and accurate.
Conditions Diagnosed with 3D CT LS Spine Scan
A 3D CT LS Spine scan is diagnosed with various conditions associated with the lumbar spine. It yields high-resolution images of bones with the surrounding soft tissues, and enables one to diagnose abnormalities overlooked by standard X-rays. Also, it aids in providing the right treatment for spinal conditions.
Conditions diagnosed include:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal fractures or traumatic injuries
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Scoliosis or other deformities of the spine
- Bone infection or tumours in the lumbar spine
Symptoms Indicating the Need for a 3D CT LS Spine Scan
A 3D CT LS Spine scan is thus recommended when patients have persistent, severe back pain that does not improve with regular treatment. It helps identify possible underlying conditions affecting the lumbar spine, such as fractures, herniated discs, or degenerative changes, if conventional imaging does not result in clear answers.
Such symptoms that indicate the use of the scan include
- Chronic or severe lower back pain
- Numbness or weakness in the legs
- Inability to move or walk
- Severe pain from the lower back that extends to the legs
- Bowel or bladder incontinence in extreme cases.
- Test Type: 3D CT LS Spine
- Preparation:
- Wear a loose-fitting cloth
- Fasting not required
- Carry Your ID Proof
- Prescription is mandatory for patients with a doctor’s sign, stamp, with DMC/HMC number; as per PC-PNDT Act
- Reports Time: With in 4-6 hours
- Test Price: Rs.5000
What is 3D CT LS Spine scan?
A 3D CT LS Spine scan is a specialized imaging technique that gives detailed, three-dimensional images of the lumbosacral (lower) spine. It helps in diagnosing conditions related to the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the spine.
Is 3D CT LS Spine scan painful?
The 3D CT LS Spine scan is not painful at all; it is non-invasive and painless. The procedure involves lying still on a scanning table while your spine is captured by the scanner.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure would normally take about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how complicated the images are that have to be captured.
Do I need to prepare for this test?
No special preparation is needed. However, some cases require you to skip some food or liquids before a scanning procedure.
Is 3D CT LS Spine a safe scan?
Yes, usually, this scan is completely safe. Although it entails radiations, the benefits associated with achieving accurate diagnosis outweigh the dangers as evidenced by the modern equipment emitting minute exposure.
