Summary

Transverse axial tomography of the spine is a technique to evaluate the entire spinal column. The technique is being used to study spondylosis, lumbar stenosis, intraspinal foreign bodies, and congenital anomalies. The method is safe, and the views obtained are reproducible. The radiographic unit we are using is the Toshiba transverse axial tomography.

Résumé

La tomographie axiale transverse du rachis est une technique permettant d'évaluer toute la colonne vertébrale. La technique est utilisée dans l'étude des spondylolisthésis, des sténoses lombaires, des corps étrangers intra-rachidiens et des anomalies congénitales. La méthode est sûre, et les images obtenues sont reproductibles. L'appareillage que nous utilisons est le tomographe axial transverse Toshiba.

Zusammenfassung
