title: [Computerized myelotomography in lesions of the spine and spinal cord].
abstract: CT myelotomography was carried out in 262 patients with various conditions of the spine and cord. Pathologic changes were detected in 233 (87.6%) of the examinees. The most frequent diseases were tumors and metastases (59 cases), degenerative processes, including primary and recurrent hernias (59 cases), atrophic processes (46 cases). The accuracy of the diagnosis was found to be 98.6%. A false-positive result was obtained in one case with a suspected tumor of the cord. No complications were recorded. Computer-aided myelotomography is an effective method for the diagnosis of involvement of the spine and cord.
