Comparative study of degenerative lumbar disc lesions between conventional lumbar myelography and CT myelographic evaluation
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction: The syndrome of low backache with or without neurological deficit is a common diagnostic problem, an orthopedic surgeon faces in daily practice. Such patients initially are treated conservatively with analgesics, short wave diathermy, tractions and exercises. Such patients attend the OPD with a variety of presentations and localization of lesion is too difficult at times. 1,2 Such patients are subjected to lumbar myelography.

A comparison of angiographic CT and multisection CT in lumbar myelographic imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this work was to provide an intraindividual comparison of angiographic CT (ACT) and multisection CT (MSCT) in lumbar myelographic imaging and to evaluate possible benefits of ACT, which is a further development of rotational angiography providing image data of high spatial and CT-like contrast resolution. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 26 patients with degenera...
متن کاملLumbar root compression in the lateral recess: MR imaging, conventional myelography, and CT myelography comparison with surgical confirmation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous authors have shown that conventional myelography is superior to plain CT in the assessment of root compression in the lateral recess, but this question has never been evaluated with respect to MR imaging of the lumbar level. Our purpose was to assess the accuracy of MR imaging, conventional myelography, and postmyelography CT (CT myelography) of the lumbar level ...
متن کاملThe validity of upright myelography for diagnosing lumbar disc herniation.
Although computed tomographic (CT) myelography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used for assessing lumbar disc herniations (LDH), they cannot provide images when patients are standing or walking, whose CT myelograms and MRI images show only slight disc bulging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of upright myelography. We examined by myelography in both an upright ...

متن کاملMR imaging of lumbar arachnoiditis.
To assess the usefulness of MR in defining the changes of lumbar arachnoiditis, we reviewed retrospectively the MR, plain-film myelographic, and CT myelographic findings in 100 patients referred for evaluation of failed-back-surgery syndrome. In 11 of 12 cases of arachnoiditis demonstrated by plain-film and CT myelography, an abnormal configuration of nerve roots was seen by MR. The correlated ...
