[Comments on the problem of demonstrating vertebral bodies in the computer tomogram (author's transl)].
This article emphasises that computer tomography is suitable for disclosing occult destructions in the region of the vertebral column. On the other hand, computer tomography is of great importance for determining the extent of destructions which are already manifest, and any possible spreading of a pathological process in the soft parts to the vertebral column.
