title: Computed tomography of the cervical spine and spinal cord.
abstract: A number of cases are presented to illustrate the diagnostic effectiveness of computed tomography in the cervical spine and spinal cord, specifically in syringomyelia, spinal stenosis, and fractures. Certain limitations in the examination are also presented, and problems related to interpretation, particularly in regard to spinal stenosis, are discussed.
