Research on advantage chooses of CT and MRI in diagnosing spine tuberculosis / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze manifestation of spine tuberculosis in CT and MRI, compare two kinds of techniques respectively of diagnosis advantage. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 18 cases confirmed by the surgical operation and pathology imaging of CT and MRI Material of spine tuberculosis. Results: The CT can nicely show that the bone destruction, the bone increase osteoslerosis, sequester and new-born formation and narrow of intervertebral disc, swelling paraspinal soft tissue and psoas major muscle abscess, spinal canal of bone is narrow, calcification. Although CT can show intervertebral disc involvement and terminal plate of vertebral body destruction in sagittal reconstruction, not equal to MRI sensitive, Evaluating intervertebral disc involvement and area of paraspinal soft tissue swells, changed in early days spine tuberculosis of valuation, MRI had obvious advantage. Conclusion: Combining CT and MRI can reflect the image of spine tuberculosis to learn a characteristic completely and be advantageous to diagnosing and discriminate diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis.
