    Author: Buxi TB, Doda SS, Mathur RK, Maini PS, Nijhawan VK, Sogani S, Agarwal HN, Madan VS, Byotra SP.
    Journal: Comput Med Imaging Graph; 1991; 15(6):379-88. PubMed ID: 1773410.
    Abstract:
    Exhaustive clinicoradiologic and computed tomographic (CT) analysis of 114 cases of spinal tuberculosis seen between January 1983 and January 1989 is presented. The mechanisms of the spinal involvement are reviewed. CT helped to diagnose cases of spinal tuberculosis in their initial stages. Inaccessible fixed areas of spine were seen with ease on axial sections of CT. The extent and anatomic depiction of soft-tissue involvement as depicted on CT helps surgeons choose the appropriate surgical approach, which may affect future spinal stability.
