How is the Test Performed?
The CT is performed with the patient on his or her back.
In some cases, an iodine-based contrast dye may be injected into a vein to help visualize tissues. In other cases, a CT of the lumbosacral spine may be performed after injecting contrast dye into the spinal canal during a lumbar puncture to further evaluate for nerve root compression.
The scan will last less than a few minutes.
