If you are experiencing neck pain, limited mobility, dizziness, numbness in the arms, cracking sounds, or muscle tension in the cervical spine region, your physician may recommend this examination.

CT of the cervical spine can help diagnose:

• Traumatic injuries of the vertebrae (fractures, dislocations, subluxations)
• Osteochondrosis and degenerative changes of the intervertebral discs
• Disc herniations and protrusions
• Compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots
• Pathological changes in blood vessels
• Congenital abnormalities of the vertebrae
• Benign and malignant tumors
