Abstract

One hundred patients with degenerative disease of the lumbar spine on whom both magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT)-myelography were performed were reviewed. In one-third of the cases, the CT-myelogram provided additional useful information. This included definition of the extent of large disc herniations, demonstration of focal neural compression by small herniations, and clarifying abnormalities of the facets, including synovial cysts. These results should help to refine the indications for CT-myelography, which continues to be requested extensively.

摘要

对100例接受了磁共振成像（MR）和计算机断层扫描（CT）脊髓造影检查的腰椎退行性疾病患者进行了回顾性研究。在三分之一的病例中，CT脊髓造影提供了额外的有用信息。这包括明确大型椎间盘突出的范围、显示小型突出对神经的局灶性压迫，以及明确关节突的异常情况，包括滑膜囊肿。这些结果应有助于完善CT脊髓造影的适应证，目前该检查仍被广泛应用。
