title: [The value of CT in diagnosis of low back pain syndromes].
abstract: The authors discuss results of CT studies in 300 patients with low back pain syndromes. Apart from herniated discs (56.3% of cases) pain could be often explained by degenerative changes of facet joints or bulging disc leading to spinal canal stenosis. In the group of patients operated on due to disc herniation correlation between CT and surgical results has 85.4%. In the authors' opinion CT is an effective, non-invasive diagnostic method in patients with low back pain syndromes.
