MSCT of the Thoracic Spine
Thoracic‑spine MSCT is a precise, informative method that detects a wide range of pathology, from trauma sequelae to tumors. Multi‑slice scanning with ~0.5 mm slices delivers high detail. We use a modern CT scanner with minimal radiation dose. The examination is performed on CT Philips Brilliance 64.
