Computed tomography (CT) of the lumbar spine was performed with selectively positioned 5-
mm-thick axial cross sections to examine each disk level from the top of the neural foramen …

Fifty patients presenting with a suspected herniated lumbar intervertebral disc were
evaluated with sector computed tomography (CT). Excluded from this series were patients …

After failure of conservative treatment, 100 patients with symptoms suggestive of lumbar
herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) but without objective deficits were investigated both by …

Although CT effectively demonstrates normal and herniated intervertebral disks, the value of
CT in low back pain has not been adequately evaluated. We compared CT prospectively …

The accuracy of computed tomography (CT), myelography, CT-myelography (myelo-CT) and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the diagnosis of lumbar herniated nucleus pulposus …

Although high contrast resolution computed tomographic (CT) imaging of the lumbar spine is
a relatively new development, it is rapidly becoming the primary definitive study for …

Discussion The cases presented all have CT-demonstrated soft-tissue masses located
beyond the spinal canal and neural foramina. Two cases (three herniated disks) had partial …

The accuracy of five imaging modalities for the diagnosis of lumbar herniated nucleus
