NCT ID NCT07456137

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether taking CT scans of the lower back while standing up gives doctors more useful information than the usual lying-down scans. About 20 adults who are already scheduled for a standard CT scan will also get a standing scan. The goal is to see if the standing view changes how doctors plan treatment for narrowing of the spine.
