Spinal CT Scan — Back & Neck Imaging at Epoch St Ives

A spinal CT provides excellent detail of the vertebral bones and structural elements of the spine — across the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbarsacral (lower back) regions.

Conditions a spinal CT can help diagnose include:
– Vertebral fractures, including subtle ones related to bone thinning
– Arthritic changes in the facet joints
– Bone spur formation (osteophytes) affecting the spinal canal or nerve exits
– Spinal canal narrowing (stenosis)
– Vertebral slippage (spondylolisthesis)
– Spinal tumours affecting the bony vertebrae
– Disc space narrowing as an indicator of degeneration
– Disc herniation
– Structural changes following spinal surgery

At Epoch Medical Imaging in St Ives Shopping Village, specialist radiologists provide detailed reports covering the full scope of your referral, with results sent promptly to your referring doctor.
