A CT Lumbar Spine scan is an advanced imaging technique that produces detailed cross-sectional images of the lower back’s spinal region, focusing on the five lumbar vertebrae (L1 to L5). It uses X-ray technology combined with computer processing to generate detailed slices of the bones, discs, spinal canal, and surrounding soft tissues. This scan is particularly valuable because the lumbar spine bears much of the body’s weight and is a common source of back pain and injury.

Doctors often recommend a CT lumbar spine scan to diagnose causes of persistent or severe lower back pain, nerve compression symptoms like sciatica

When Is CT Lumbar Spine Recommended?

Doctors usually recommend a CT lumbar spine scan when:

  1. You experience chronic lower back pain not improving with rest or medication
  2. There’s suspicion of spinal injury or compression fracture after trauma
  3. Other imaging (like X-rays) doesn’t provide enough detail
  4. You have disc problems such as herniation or degeneration
  5. Signs of infection or tumor are detected in the spinal region
  6. You’re being evaluated before or after spinal surgery

How the Procedure Works

A CT (Computed Tomography) scan combines X-ray technology with computer processing to create multi-dimensional images. During the test:

  1. You’ll lie on a motorized table that slides into the CT scanner.
  2. The technologist may use a contrast dye through an IV for better visualization.
  3. The scanner rotates around you, taking quick images of your lumbar region.
  4. The entire process usually takes 10–15 minutes and is completely painless.

You may be asked to remain still or hold your breath for short moments to ensure clear images.

What Can CT Lumbar Spine Detect?

A CT lumbar spine scan is highly effective in detecting:

  1. Degenerative disc disease
  2. Spinal fractures or dislocations
  3. Herniated or bulging discs
  4. Spinal canal narrowing (spinal stenosis)
  5. Bone spurs or arthritic changes
  6. Infections such as osteomyelitis
  7. Tumors affecting vertebrae or nerve roots

Preparing for the Scan

  1. Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing.
  2. Remove jewelry, belts, or clothing with zippers or buttons.
  3. Inform the radiologist if you’re pregnant or have kidney issues, especially when using contrast dye.
  4. Fasting may be required for a few hours before a contrast CT.

Benefits of CT Lumbar Spine

  1. Quick, accurate diagnosis
  2. Non-invasive procedure
  3. Detailed bone and tissue visualization
  4. Crucial for surgical planning
  5. Helps monitor treatment progress

After the Scan

You can usually resume normal activities immediately. If contrast dye was used, drink plenty of fluids to flush it out from your system. A radiologist will interpret the scan and share results with your doctor, who will discuss the next steps in your care plan.
