Lumbar discography has been performed in over 1500 patients at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital, and a report concerning 683 cases has been previously published. The authors review an additional 199 cases, finding that decision making was influenced by discography in 155 cases (78%). A positive discogram was surgically confirmed in 111 patients (56%). In 14(7%) the disc was found to be normal at surgery. One hundred six patients (53%) had positive discograms with negative or equivocal myelogram. In 36 patients with a positive myelogram, the discogram was corroborative, although most patients with positive myelograms did not have discography. Sixty-nine patients (35%) did not have surgery.
圣卢克圣公会医院已对1500多名患者进行了腰椎间盘造影，此前已发表了一份关于683例病例的报告。作者回顾了另外199例病例，发现155例（78%）的决策受到椎间盘造影的影响。111例患者（56%）的椎间盘造影阳性经手术证实。14例（7%）在手术中发现椎间盘正常。106例患者（53%）的椎间盘造影阳性，但脊髓造影阴性或不明确。在36例脊髓造影阳性的患者中，椎间盘造影得到了证实，尽管大多数脊髓造影阳性的患者未进行椎间盘造影。69例患者（35%）未接受手术。
