Advancing Patient Care with CT-Guided Interventions
CT imaging is not only a trusted diagnostic tool, it also plays an essential role in guiding safe, minimally invasive procedures. At our Melbourne-based clinic, CareWell Diagnostix, we utilise CT technology to perform image-guided treatments that offer both precision and comfort.
These procedures help inform a broader clinical picture, supporting accurate diagnoses and more effective ongoing care.

Our Range of CT-Guided Procedures at CareWell Diagnostix
We provide a suite of CT-guided services aimed at delivering accurate, minimally invasive treatment options for joint, spinal, and musculoskeletal conditions. Each procedure is performed under real-time CT imaging for maximum safety, precision, and effectiveness.
Joint Injections for Pain Relief and Inflammation Control
CT-guided joint injections allow for the precise delivery of anti-inflammatory medications directly into affected joints. Commonly used to manage symptoms of arthritis, joint injuries, or degenerative joint conditions, these injections help reduce inflammation and pain. Real-time CT imaging ensures accurate needle placement, leading to more effective outcomes and improved patient comfort.
Joint Aspiration (Arthrocentesis) for Fluid Removal and Diagnostic Insight
CT-guided joint aspiration is a safe and effective procedure used to remove excess synovial fluid from swollen or painful joints. This not only helps relieve pressure and discomfort but also allows for laboratory testing to investigate causes such as infection, gout, or inflammatory arthritis. CT guidance enhances procedural accuracy and minimises risk to surrounding structures.
Facet Joint Injections – Thoracic and Lumbar Spine
Facet joint injections target the small stabilising joints in the spine, commonly affected by arthritis or age-related wear. Using CT imaging, our team delivers medication directly to inflamed facet joints in the thoracic or lumbar regions. This procedure provides localised pain relief and supports improved movement in patients with chronic back pain.
Lumbar Nerve Root Injections for Sciatica and Lower Back Pain
Nerve root injections are used to manage pain caused by inflammation or compression of spinal nerves, such as in sciatica or spinal stenosis. With the aid of CT guidance, medication is carefully administered around the affected lumbar nerve root, helping reduce nerve pain, improve function, and support rehabilitation efforts.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections (Synvisc, Durolane) – Single Treatment Options
Hyaluronic acid injections such as Synvisc and Durolane offer single-dose treatment for osteoarthritis-related joint pain. These injections restore lubrication and cushioning within the joint, reducing stiffness and enhancing mobility. CT-guided delivery ensures the product is placed precisely within the joint space for optimal therapeutic benefit.
Euflexxa Injections – A Three-Part Viscosupplement Therapy
Euflexxa is a hyaluronic acid-based therapy administered in three separate injections over several weeks. Commonly used for knee osteoarthritis, this treatment replenishes joint lubrication, reduces friction, and supports improved joint function. CT imaging guides each injection for maximum accuracy and patient comfort across all treatment sessions.
