Magnetic resonance imaging has revolutionized the noninvasive evaluation of degenerative disc disease and its complications. Compared with computed tomography and computed tomographic myelography, magnetic resonance allows specific determination of the nature of disc protrusions and other degenerative related soft tissues about the spine. Magnetic resonance offers the most complete evaluation of specific degenerative disorders including degenerative facet disease, spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, spontaneous lumbar epidural hematomas, and juvenile discogenic disease.
磁共振成像彻底改变了对椎间盘退变疾病及其并发症的无创评估。与计算机断层扫描和计算机断层脊髓造影相比,磁共振成像能够明确椎间盘突出及脊柱周围其他与退变相关软组织的性质。磁共振成像对特定的退变疾病,包括小关节退变、椎弓根峡部裂、椎体滑脱、自发性腰椎硬膜外血肿和青少年椎间盘源性疾病,提供了最全面的评估。
