Abstrakt: We analyzed the outcome of diagnostic processes in 102 cases of unclear spinal affections. Myelography, spinal CT with and without contrast media, and, in several cases, spinal MRI were performed. Facing a higher number of false positive or false negative diagnoses after the initial CT scans we propose the classical myelography with a water-soluble contrast medium to be initial neuroradiological method for detection of spinal processes, especially in the cervical region.
