Quantitative Computed Tomography of the Lumbar Spine.

Computed tomography in the postoperative lumbar spine.

A retrospective review of computed tomograms (CT) was performed in eight patients who underwent surgery for presumed reherniation of a lumbar disc. The CT scan in the three patients with surgically proven extradural scarring and no disc herniation, demonstrated distinct characteristics of perineural fibrosis which differed markedly from the uniform changes seen on the scans of the five patients...

Low-dose computed tomography of the abdomen and lumbar spine

Muhammed Alshamari (2016): Low-dose computed tomography of the abdomen and lumbar spine. Örebro Studies in Medicine 137. Radiography is a common radiologic investigation despite abundant evidence of its limited diagnostic value. On the other hand, computed tomography (CT) has a high diagnostic value and is widely considered to be among the most important advances in medicine. However, CT expose...

Computed tomography and myelography of the postoperative lumbar spine.

Postoperative myelographic changes in the thecal sac, epidural tissues, and bony canal, as well as nerve roots, may be difficult to interpret. A series of 32 postoperative patients, all of whom had a metrizamide myelogram and subsequent lumbar computed tomogram, was reviewed to examine the ability of computed tomography to recognize abnormalities when the myelogram is equivocal or uninterpretab...

Computed Tomography of the Spine

quantitative size assessment of the lumbar spinal canal by computed tomography

by determining normal ranges of spinal canal diameters we can make early diagnosis in persons who have lower diameters of spinal canal. these persons are predisposed to spinal canal stenosis that is a major cause of spinal radiculopathies. in different studies performed in several countries, minimum and maximum ranges of spinal canal diameters were different for each population. in this study, ...
