Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Discography is an invasive procedure used to assess spinal disc pain.
  • It serves as a complementary diagnostic tool alongside MR imaging or CT myelography.
  • The procedure's controversial nature necessitates careful evaluation of its utility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of CT discography in diagnosing spinal disc pathology.
  • To correlate discographic findings with cross-sectional imaging.
  • To discuss the impact of discography on surgical outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • CT discography involves provocative pain assessment in prone or decubitus positions.
  • The procedure visualizes the pattern, number, extent, and degree of annular tears.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Findings are correlated with pre-operative cross-sectional imaging studies.

    • Main Results:

    • CT discography offers detailed insights into annular tear characteristics.
    • Correlation with imaging studies aids in surgical planning.
    • The study discusses the relationship between discographic findings and surgical outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • CT discography provides valuable information for surgical decision-making in discogenic pain.
    • Pain provocation is a critical component for accurate diagnosis.
    • Further review of its correlation with imaging and surgical outcomes is warranted.
