Abstract

For evaluating the lumbar disc space, the fact that the postmyelography computed tomography was more accurate than computed tomography or myelography was well know. But the technical difficulty is limitation of gantry angle. The prone position
scanning
may help to lessen this trouble.
A prospective computed tomographic scanning was performed in toth the prone and supine position on 43 patients, who had low back pain. The angle between the vertebral end plate and vertical line was measured in both position at L3-4, L4-5 and
L5_S1
interspaces.
The adavantages of prone scanning in spinal aligment was performed with metrizamide. With above advantages, the evaluation of bulging annulus was become more easier.
