Overview

Cervical and lumbar CT scans of spinal column may be helpful in the diagnosis of spinal stenosis. Findings on CT scan suggestive of spinal stenosis include: Facets hypertrophy, Osteophytes, Hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum, Narrowed spinal canal, Compression of the neural elements, Hypertrophic bones, Disc herniation, Metastases and Infections.
