  • Title: Comparison of CT scan diagnosis and surgical findings in lumbar disk herniation.
    Author: Milano C, Lotti G, Mariconda M.
    Journal: Ital J Orthop Traumatol; 1991 Sep; 17(3):401-5. PubMed ID: 1783555.
    Abstract:
    The authors compare CT scan evidence with surgical findings in lumbar intervertebral disk disease. The results confirm the reliability of the CT scan for diagnosis of disk herniation, but find it somewhat less precise as far as diagnosis of disk degeneration. The authors emphasize the irreplaceability of the clinical examination in the preoperative assessment of lumbar disk disease as well as the important confirmation provided by the imaging studies.
