The assessment of spinal degenerative diseases with diagnostic imaging – as well as other fields of application – has seen remarkable development with technological progress, in particular regarding computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Only 20 years ago, conventional radiography was considered the basis of degenerative spine diagnostic imaging and we proceeded to second-line investigations choosing between CT and MRI based on radiographic findings and clinical evidence. Today, the situation has changed radically thanks to the greater availability of CT and MRI, the relative cost reduction, and the greater scanning speed. |
