A CT scan with contrast is an imaging procedure that uses electromagnetic waves from a large machine to provide multiple images of a certain part of the body. Patients receive a dye injection and substance (contrast) before the procedure. The image after injection allows the doctor to more easily view the bones, blood vessels, and tissues to look for abnormalities.
At Kansas Spine & Specialty Hospital, the only CT scans performed are for the spine following a spinal surgery. If you need more than one area of the spine scanned, you will need to purchase one CT scan for each area.
If you are not a post-op patient at Kansas Spine & Specialty Hospital and you need a spine CT scan, please see CT Scan (with contrast) instead.
