[Roentgenodiagnosis of disk herniation in osteochondrosis]

Seventy-six patients with disk hernia of the vertebral column were subjected to comprehensive examination with the help of modern research methods (pneumomyelography, peridurography and diskography). The data obtained made it possible to present detailed roentgenological characteristics of degenerative dystrophic changes of the disk with the description of the localization of disk hernia, the degree of its prolapse into the vertebral column and attendant complications (arachnoidites and epidurites).
