Abstract:
Objective To compare the diagnostic value of CT and MRI in the diagnosis of far lateral lumbar disc herniation (FLLDH). Methods The CT and MRI imagine data of 34 patients with FLLDH were retrospectively analyzed and compared. Results The positive rate of CT in diagnosis FLLDH was 88.24%(30/34), and the positive rate of MRI was 94.12%(32/34). There was no statistical difference (P>0.05). There were no statistical differences in the diagnosis of disease region and image representation between CT and MRI (P>0.05). Conclusions There is higher coincidence rate of CT and MRI in the diagnosis of FLLDH, but the two imaging methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. In clinical practice, the two imaging methods can be used to improve the clinical diagnosis rate, and provide a reliable basis for determining the surgical treatment options.
