title: [Percutaneous treatment of lumber disk herniation. Radiological criteria of therapeutic decision].
abstract: Invasive diagnostic imaging methods such as discography, discomanometry, C.T.-discography are generally not required to accurately depict herniated lumbar disks. On the contrary they should be implemented in specific clinical situations in order to confirm the choice of a percutaneous treatment: nucleolysis or nucleotomy. The major role is devoted to discography. Discomanometry and C.T.-discography are second order methods that will help in difficult cases in choosing therapeutic strategy.
