Lumbar CT
I fully agree with Joseph, there are many ways of saying it, but you normally see the shorter version in dischrge letters, in this case "lumbar CT", or "CT of the lumbar spine".
You do not need "segments" at all.

Joseph Tein
: actually, this is also correct (we need to fix the spelling: lumbAr). "lumbar spinal segments" OR "lumbar spine segments" fit nicely when we see the complete sentence..

computed tomography of the spine, lumbar segments
Or: computed tomography of the lumbar spine ... I think this would work also in this context.

It's a CT (yes, that's what tomografia computada means) of the spine, focusing on the lumbar segments.
Please think in the future to provide the complete sentence where a term or phrase is found. And as Muriel said, it's often helpful to provide at least one sentence before and possibly what follows. It clarifies the meaning and makes it possible for your colleagues to help you.
This might be saying "... of the lumbar segments [of the spine]" but we really can't tell at this point.
(Hi Muriel ... Feliz Natal!)
