Transverse sections were most useful for detecting osteochondral anomalies and for evaluating the symmetry of the spinal column and its soft-tissue contents. Longitudinal sections augmented the transverse sections and provided the most detailed anatomy of the cord and spinal arteries. A normal screening sonographic examination obviates ionizing radiation and invasive procedures, while an abnormal study implies the need for further, complementary diagnostic investigations. ER -
