Three-dimensional computed tomographic scanning is a valuable adjunct in the diagnosis and treatment of disease processes involving the spine. We present our experience with this noninvasive radiological diagnostic technique in 32 patients with vertebral column abnormalities ranging from craniovertebral junction disorders to fractures of lumbar vertebrae. The three-dimensional CT images often demonstrate pathological conditions and occult lesions that are not adequately defined by conventional radiographic means.
三维计算机断层扫描是涉及脊柱疾病诊断和治疗的一种有价值的辅助手段。我们介绍了对32例脊柱异常患者（从颅颈交界区疾病到腰椎骨折）使用这种非侵入性放射学诊断技术的经验。三维CT图像常常能显示出传统放射学方法无法充分界定的病理状况和隐匿性病变。
