What are the tests for broken back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: If there is a fracture suspected, the first test is an xray or a cat scan. A ct scan or cat scan is a special type of xray and it is usually better at seeing fractures than an MRI which is better for looking a non bone tissue.
