Evaluation of Spinal Tuberculosis by using Computerized Tomography CT and Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI Scan

ABSTRACT

Spinal Tuberculosis is considering the most clinically important extra pulmonary form of disease.

Early recognition is therefore necesaary to minimize residual spinal deformity and/or permanent neurological deficit.

In this study we intended to Evaluate the CT and MRI images, morphology of spinal TB and correlated the imaging features of these two modalities.

A total of 30 patients, (CT:10 patients) and (MRI: 20 patients) images were retrospectively analyzed in 30 patients with proved spinal TB.
