The diagnosis of the cervical spinal disc herniation by the magnetic resonance image

ABSTRACT

From November 1996 up to December 1998 with 90 MRI diagnosed cases of cervical disc herniation found in Hµ Néi region. 73 males patients and 23-68 years old (on average 45). We found that MRI is the best sensible method to determine the cervical disc herniation. The study is performed separately in two levels of the disc herniation Bulging disc 44% and typical disc herniation 56%. Peak levels of the disc herniation occur at levels C4/C5 and C5/C6. Cervical canal stenosis and spondylosis may be combined with the disc herniation.
