Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Nineteen patients with infectious spondylitis were evaluated by computed tomography (CT) and the results were compared with conventional radiography. In each case the diagnosis was established by biopsy. The use of CT in evaluation of the extent of bone and soft tissue involvement as well as its role in differentiating inflammatory from noninflammatory destructive processes is discussed.
