CR、CT、MRI在脊柱结核诊断中的临床价值

目的]评价计算机X线摄影(CR)、计算机断层成像(CT)、磁共振成像(MRI)在脊柱结核诊断中的临床价值。方法]回顾分析经病理证实的41例脊柱结核的影像学资料。41例做了CR,22例做了CT,31例均做了MRI。结果]41例中38例CR片清晰显示骨质改变及椎间隙狭窄或消失,30例CR片可看到软组织阴影。22例CT均清晰显示了钙化,22例CT检查附件均未见明显异常,21例CT清晰显示椎体骨质改变,20例CT显示了软组织阴影。31例MRI均显示软组织均受累,附件均未见受累,其中29例椎间隙狭窄或消失。病变T1WI均以低信号为主,T2WI均以高信号为主。结论]CR片仍为脊柱结核的基本检查方法,CT较好显示了结核的破坏范围及细微钙化,MRI对显示结核的侵犯范围、软组织异常及椎间盘异常有明显优势。三者相结合有助于脊柱结核的诊断。

Clinical value of CR,CT and MRI in spinal tuberculosis

Objective]To investigate the clinical value of computed radiography(CR),computed tomography(CT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)in spinal tuberculosis.Method]Forty-one patients with histologically confirmed spinal tuberculosis underwant imaging examinations.Forty-one patients were performed CR,22 CT and 31 MRI.Result]CR of 38 patients clearly revealed bone changes and narrowed or disappeared disk space.CR of 30 patients well showed the abnormal soft tissue.CT scan of 22 patients clearly depicted calcification and no abnormal was found in pedicles in all the 22 CT scans.CT scan of 21 patients revealed bone changes of vertebral bodies and CT scan of 20 patients showed abnormal soft tissue.The soft tissue was involved in all 31 patients with spinal tuberculosis.Diskspaces were involved in 29 cases and the pedicles were normal in all 31 case.The lesions showed hypointense in T1 scan primarily,hyperintense in T2 scan primarily.Conclusion]CR is the first imaging approach for spinal tuberculosis.CT well reveal the extent and minute calcification.The extent,abnormal soft-tissue and abnormal disk space are more dramatically demonstrated on MRI imaging.CR,in addition to CT and MRI,is helpful in diagnosis of spinaltubereuinsis.
