    Computed tomography (CT) aids in diagnosing spinal tuberculosis by analyzing vertebral and soft tissue involvement. Increased clinical alertness is crucial for timely identification of this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Spinal Imaging

    Background:

    • Spinal tuberculosis (Pott's disease) is a significant cause of spinal infection.
    • Accurate diagnosis and assessment of disease extent are critical for effective management.
    • Computed tomography (CT) offers detailed anatomical visualization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the computed tomographic (CT) features of spinal tuberculosis.
    • To review the mechanisms of vertebral involvement in spinal tuberculosis.
    • To emphasize CT's role in diagnosis and delineating soft tissue extension.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of nine confirmed cases of spinal tuberculosis.
    • Review of computed tomographic (CT) imaging findings.

  • Correlation of imaging features with pathological mechanisms.

    • Main Results:

    • CT demonstrated characteristic features of vertebral body destruction and involvement.
    • Soft tissue abscesses and paravertebral extension were well-delineated by CT.
    • CT facilitated the identification of the extent of disease in all cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool for diagnosing spinal tuberculosis.
    • CT imaging is essential for assessing the full extent of spinal and soft tissue involvement.
    • Increased clinical awareness and utilization of CT are recommended for prompt diagnosis.
