We give a description of a technique of the patient's positioning with traction of the arms during the cervical spinal computed tomography which allows to draw the shoulders downwards by about one to three cervical segments. By this method the quality of the images can be improved in 96% in the cervical segment 6/7 and in 81% in the cervical/thoracal segment 7/1 to such a degree that a reliable judgement of the soft parts in the spinal canal becomes possible. The diagnostic reliability of the computed tomography of the cervical disc herniation is thus improved so that the necessity of a myelography is decreasing. The results of 396 cervical spinal computed tomographies are presented.
我们描述了一种在颈椎计算机断层扫描期间对患者进行手臂牵引定位的技术，该技术可使肩部向下牵引约1至3个颈椎节段。通过这种方法，颈6/7节段的图像质量可提高96%，颈/胸7/1节段的图像质量可提高81%，从而能够可靠地判断椎管内的软组织。这样就提高了颈椎间盘突出症计算机断层扫描的诊断可靠性，进而减少了脊髓造影的必要性。本文展示了396例颈椎计算机断层扫描的结果。
