Overview
CT scan of spine provides much precise bony details of vertebral bodies, intervertebral disks, sclerosis, and osteoporotic vertebral end plates. It is helpful to detect early lesions and is more effective for defining the shape and calcification of soft-tissue abscesses.
CT
CT is helpful to pick up the changes of spinal tuberculosis early in the disease. CT can demonstrate the extent of disease including the presence of calcification in the abscesses. CT guided biopsy is done to confirm the etiology.[1][2][3]
The findings suggestive of spinal tuberculosis include :
- Osteolytic lesions or bone fragmentation
- Calcifications in the abscesses
- Spinal canal narrowing
