The CT Lumbar Spine (Plain) scan at Sooriya Diagnostic, Kathmandu, is a high-resolution imaging technique designed to provide detailed visualization of the lumbar vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and surrounding soft tissues. This advanced scan plays a vital role in diagnosing spinal conditions, fractures, disc problems, and degenerative diseases of the lower back with exceptional accuracy.

A CT Lumbar Spine (Plain) scan is particularly useful for detecting herniated discs, spinal stenosis, fractures, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, infections, and congenital abnormalities affecting the lumbar spine. It offers a comprehensive assessment of the lumbar vertebrae, helping doctors determine the extent of injuries or abnormalities affecting the lower back region.

This scan is highly recommended for individuals experiencing chronic back pain, stiffness, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or suspected spinal trauma due to accidents, falls, or repetitive stress. It is also an essential imaging tool for evaluating conditions such as lumbar spondylosis, osteoarthritis, disc herniation, and post-surgical evaluations of the lumbar spine.

During the procedure, the patient lies on the CT scanner table while multiple cross-sectional images of the lumbar spine are captured. Unlike contrast-enhanced scans, the CT Lumbar Spine (Plain) scan does not require an intravenous contrast dye, making it a safe and efficient imaging option for patients who may have allergies to contrast agents or those who do not require vascular assessment. The scan is quick, painless, and non-invasive, typically completed within a few minutes, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately afterward.
