Summary

CAT for spine and spinal cord studies was carried out in 182 patients aged 7–80 years during 12 months (April 1977 to March 1978) with the EMI body scanner CT 5005. Three methods were used: (1) standard (noncontrast) scanning; (2) the same, with IV contrast enhancement; (3) the same again, after CSF enhancement with Amipaque (computer-assisted myelography). The combined use of Amipaque and CT seems particularly interesting.
