title: Techniques for lumbar discography and computed tomography/discography in clinical practice.
abstract: The technique for lumbar discography is not well standardized. To better understand lumbar pathology, we have developed a consistent, reproducible, and relatively simple procedure for lumbar discography. We describe our technique and discuss variables that may differ among individual lumbar discography procedures.
