title: Degenerative changes of the vertebral column in spatial imaging of 3D computed tomography.
abstract: In a group of 38 patients with radicular pain syndromes diagnostic value of spatial reconstructions with computed tomography (3D CT) was assessed in examinations of bone structures of the vertebral column. It was found that 3D CT is a technique of choice in the assessment of degenerative stenosis of the vertebral canal, internal surface of the vertebral canal, bone narrowings of intervertebral foramens and lateral recesses.
