Computed tomography and myelography have long been used for diagnosing the effects of degenerative diseases of the cervical spine. Despite the continuous improvement of magnetic resonance scanning for this purpose, computed tomography techniques may provide an excellent screen for disc herniation and spinal stenosis. Computed tomography myelography is still considered by some workers to be the gold standard for demonstrating the soft tissue and bony changes that result in nerve root and spinal cord compression syndromes.
计算机断层扫描和脊髓造影长期以来一直用于诊断颈椎退行性疾病的影响。尽管为此目的的磁共振扫描技术不断改进,但计算机断层扫描技术仍可为椎间盘突出症和椎管狭窄提供良好的筛查。一些工作人员仍然认为计算机断层扫描脊髓造影是显示导致神经根和脊髓压迫综合征的软组织和骨质变化的金标准。
