First of all, the shooting direction of the two is different. Generally, CT is mainly transverse scanning, while X-ray is plane shooting. The former can clearly see the spinal disc and nerve root, while the latter can only see the bone, so when the low back pain is severe, you can do CT examination, which will be more comprehensive and thorough. Daily attention should also be paid to the warmth of the waist.
