CT SCAN CERVICAL SPINE SCREENING WHOLE SPINE Price in Bangladesh

What is CT SCAN CERVICAL SPINE SCREENING WHOLE SPINE?

CT Scan Cervical Spine Screening Whole Spine is an imaging procedure that uses CT scanning to evaluate the cervical spine (neck area) along with the entire spine. It helps detect spinal fractures, degenerative diseases, disc herniations, spinal stenosis, or tumors.

The scan provides detailed images of the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and surrounding tissues. Contrast dye may be used to improve visibility.

The procedure is non-invasive, quick, and typically well-tolerated, though mild discomfort may occur with contrast injection. It is useful for diagnosing spinal issues and guiding treatment plans.

What to expect & how to prepare

A CT scanner takes many X-ray images from different angles and combines them into cross-sectional pictures. You lie on a table that moves through a ring-shaped scanner.

• Contrast: some CT studies use an iodine-based contrast injection and some do not. If contrast is planned, the centre may ask you to avoid food for a few hours and to bring a recent kidney function report.
• Tell the staff: mention kidney disease, diabetes medicines such as metformin, asthma, previous reaction to contrast, or any allergy before the scan.
• Metal: jewellery and metallic items in the scan area are removed; you may be asked to change into a gown.
• Fasting: a plain CT without contrast normally needs no fasting — confirm with the centre which type is booked for you.

CT uses ionising radiation, at a higher dose than a plain X-ray. Tell the staff if you are pregnant or think you might be, so the request can be reviewed.

Performed by a radiology team, normally on a doctor's request.
