another spinal tap question

okay, so what is the difference between a spinal tap and a lumbar puncture?
I kept thinking I would be doing the test where you have to curl up and that helps them get the right spot. Apparently I will be laying flat on my stomach and this is some sort of CT guided lumbar puncture. Is this anything I need to be more concerned about? It just presents a completely different picture in my head than what I had been mentally preparing for.
Appreciate any feedback.
Thanks!!!
