The role of computerised tomography in the management of spinal tuberculosis
Abstract
Computerised axial tomography of the spine has been carried out in 56 patients with spinal tuberculosis; the extent of the bone and soft tissue involvement, spinal canal encroachment and neural compression were demonstrated. This accurate information made it possible to lay down guide lines for conservative and surgical management.
