Abstract:
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of multiplanar reconstruction(MPR)of spiral CT in the disorders of lumbar intervertebral discs.Methods Fourty-one cases with the disorders of lumbar intervertebral discs were examined with conventional CT scans and MPR of spiral CT.CT findings of intervertebral discs at L 3/4 ,L 4/5 and L 5/S 1 were compared and observed.Results The conventional scans showed bulging and /or herniation of intervertebral discs in 35 cases,and normal in 6 cases which compression of nerveroots by intervertebral discs or osseous narrow of intervertebral discs were showed on MPR.The MPR showed compression of nerve roots,compression of dural sac or osseous narrow of intervertebral foramens in 36 cases.Conclusion MPR possesses important value in diagnosing the disorders of lumbar intervertebral discs,showing the causes of lumbar vertebral diseases and distinguishing the various diseases of lumbar vertebrae.
