CE CT Dorso - Lumber Spine

A contrast-enhanced CT of the dorsolumbar spine is used to visualize the lower thoracic and upper lumbar region of the spine. Your doctor may recommend this test to find disorders including a herniated disk, detect injuries or infections to the spine, osteoarthritis, and pinched nerves. The CE CT of the dorso-lumbar spine is also advised when there is back pain followed by fever, weakness and numbness in the legs.
