  • Title: Computed tomography of the lumbar thecal sac.
    Author: Naidich TP, King DG, Moran CJ, Sagel SS.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1980 Feb; 4(1):37-41. PubMed ID: 7354173.
    Abstract:
    With a high resolution modification of a translate--rotate body scanner (EMI CT5005), radiologists may now demonstrate the epidural fat, thecal sac, and axillary pouches of the lower thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spinal canal without using contrast agents. Preliminary results with a newer rotary motion scanner (EMI CT7070) suggest that this scanner achieves sequally good delineation of intracanalicular anatomy.
