Cervical CT can detect the presence of cervical spine trauma, cervical spondylosis, bone tumor and other diseases.
1. Cervical spine trauma: Cervical CT can observe whether there are changes in the position and morphology of cervical vertebrae, as well as changes in the morphology of cervical vertebrae soft tissues. Cervical CT can detect cervical vertebrae fracture, soft tissue contusion and other diseases caused by trauma.
2. Cervical spondylosis: Cervical spondylosis can be examined using CT to observe the anterior and posterior margins of the diseased vertebrae, the presence of osteophytes at the hook vertebral joints, the ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and other conditions. CT examination of the neck can provide a basis for the definitive diagnosis of cervical spondylosis.
3. Bone tumor: CT neck can determine the location and size of bone tumor, and also identify the degree of tumor invasion and the relationship between the surrounding tissues. It can provide guiding opinions for the subsequent treatment.
In addition to the above diseases, CT of the neck can also detect thyroid, trachea and other related diseases. If there is any doubt about this, it is recommended to consult a professional.
