Abstract
In routine computed tomography (CT) of scoliotic patients, multiple scans through each intervertebral disk level must be made, which can make interpretation of disks and neural foramina difficult. Use of lateral decubitus positioning for postmyelography CT allows use of gantry angulation to achieve true axial scans through disks, which permits easier evaluation of individual disks and foramina.
