    Spinal computed tomography (CT) significantly improves diagnostic accuracy for vertebral column conditions. Advanced CT technology is poised to replace invasive methods, enhancing patient care and diagnostic capabilities.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Spinal computed tomography (CT) has advanced diagnostic capabilities for vertebral column pathologies.
    • The technology offers new indications for diagnosing spinal conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the enhanced differential diagnostic safety and new indications of spinal CT.
    • To emphasize the role of detailed clinical data and neurological findings in successful diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of diagnostic advancements in spinal computed tomography over the past two years.
    • Discussion of the prerequisites for successful spinal CT diagnosis, including clinical data, neurological findings, and localization.
    • Consideration of alternative/adjunct procedures like myelography and CT-myelography.

    Main Results:

    • Spinal CT has demonstrably improved diagnostic safety and expanded its application range.
    • Computed tomography is expected to increasingly supplant invasive diagnostic procedures with technological advancements.
    • Spinal CT is effective in diagnosing slipped discs, spinal stenosis, tumors, malformations, post-traumatic conditions, postoperative changes, and inflammatory processes.

    Conclusions:

    • Spinal CT is a powerful diagnostic tool for a wide array of spinal conditions.
    • Adherence to diagnostic prerequisites ensures optimal utilization of spinal CT.
    • Future technological improvements will further solidify CT's role in spinal diagnostics, potentially reducing the need for invasive methods.
