Computerized tomography can depict most of the characteristic features of aneurysmal bone cyst of the spine even when the plain film findings are not diagnostic. The computed tomographic appearance is that of a benign expansile soft tissue mass surrounded by a shell of bone, an appearance which is analogous to the typical changes of aneurysmal bone cyst in the extremities. Extension into adjacent bones and soft tissues can be demonstrated and thereby facilitate both preoperative planning and later follow-up for recurrence.
即使平片检查结果无法确诊，计算机断层扫描也能描绘出脊柱动脉瘤样骨囊肿的大部分特征。计算机断层扫描表现为一个良性膨胀性软组织肿块，周围有一层骨壳，这种表现类似于四肢动脉瘤样骨囊肿的典型变化。可以显示其向相邻骨骼和软组织的延伸情况，从而有助于术前规划和后续复发情况的随访。
