doctor please guide me. I need help. what kind of ct scan I have to do so the position or situation of pedicle screws are shown.
A CT scan is the best study to determine the position of pedicle screws (if performed on a very good scanner with the correct technique).

You told me to take a ct scan and I did that. In my ct showing the pedicle screw in the left side l3-l4 is sticking out and it should be removed.
doctor What type of imaging can show bilateral foraminal stenosis?
A photo showing the exact details of Foramen? Please tell me what the necessary techniques is?
Is an axial or sagital view or so on.
Thank you very much
Foraminal stenosis on a CT scan will show bony narrowing but may not show non-bone tissue compression. The best way to look at foraminal stenosis on a CT is to look at the sagittal views of the foramen and compare to the axial views of the same level. You can also compare to a standing X-ray which adds the gravity factor to the equation.
