[Radiculo-tomography for lumbosacral myelography (author's transl)].

The use of tomography can increase the value of lumbosacral myelography in certain circumstances. Post mortem studies have resulted in standardisation of the examination, which will combine optimal diagnostic information with the least amount of effort and with an acceptable amount of stress on the patient. 110 tomographic examinations were performed amongst 680 lumbosacral myelograms (Dimer X). On the basis of this experience, the value of this procedure is illustrated from various points of view and its indications are discussed.
