Abstract:
The sagittal diameter of cervical spinal canals provided in radiological and anatomical literature cannot be used for the computertomographical diagnostics. Values measured by CT are lower than widths determined by other methods. Resulting from its high sensitivity computertomography detects even slight mineralisations and ossifications that cannot be seen on conventional X-ray pictures. CT is therefore the most suitable X-ray method for the diagnosis of stenosed cervical spinal canals.

01:10Computed Tomography
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

01:16Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.
