  • Title: [Magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of hernias of thoracic intervertebral disks].
    Author: Krotenkov PV, Kiselev AM, Sherman LA, Krotenkova OV.
    Journal: Vestn Rentgenol Radiol; 2007; (4):51-5. PubMed ID: 18634306.
    Abstract:
    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was carried out in 24 patients with thoracic osteochondrosis. The obtained MR images showed the high efficiency of this radiodiagnostic technique in solving the tasks of visualizing a degenerative-dystrophic lesion of the vertebral column. MRI allows one to solve a broad spectrum of specific problems facing a radiodiagnostician and a neurosurgeon on examining a patient with thoracic osteochondrosis. This study permits an objective assessment of the stage of herniation and the degree of spinal cord compression, determination of treatment policy, planning of a surgical intervention, assessment of the results of surgical treatment, timely detection of possible complications, and visualization of recurrent hernia.
