Computed tomography measurements of the AP diameter, width, and cross-sectional area of the bony cervical canal were derived from cervical spine examinations of fifty-two normal adults. These quantitative parameters were then used to evaluate 80 patients with various cervical abnormalities to determine the clinical usefulness of the measurements. With the exception of spinal stenosis, quantitative cervical canal analysis was found to be of limited usefulness since normal measurements frequently occurred in the presence of significant cervical pathology.
通过对52名正常成年人的颈椎检查得出了颈椎管前后径、宽度和横截面积的计算机断层扫描测量值。然后使用这些定量参数对80名患有各种颈椎异常的患者进行评估，以确定这些测量值的临床实用性。除了椎管狭窄外，由于在存在明显颈椎病变的情况下经常出现正常测量值，因此定量颈椎管分析的实用性有限。
