Abstract:
Intervertebral disk space infection is common in children and has certain clinical and imaging characteristics. Until recently, the diagnosis has largely depended on plain roentgenography and/or radionuclide imaging. This article emphasizes the role of cross-sectional imaging, including computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of childhood spinal infections.
