Application of CT Combined with MRI in the Diagnosis of Lumbar Disc Herniation
Objective:Exploring the application effect of CT combined with MRI in the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods:198 suspected LDH patients admitted to our hospital from May 2023 to April 2024 were selected,all of whom underwent CT and MRI examinations. Compared the diagnostic features of CT and MRI for LDH,as well as the diagnostic efficacy of MRI alone,CT alone,and combined examination. Results:Compared with CT examination results,MRI has a higher detection rate for signs of spinal cord degeneration,nerve root compression edema,and intervertebral disc deformation (P<0.05),while the detection rate for signs of calcification and intervertebral disc gas accumulation was lower (P<0.05).178 out of 198 suspected patients were diagnosed with LDH. The sensitivity and accuracy of diagnosing LDH with MRI alone were higher than CT alone (P<0.05). The sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy of joint inspection in diagnosing LDH were higher than CT alone and MRI alone (P<0.05). Conclusions:CT and MRI each have their own advantages in evaluating LDH signs,and the combined application of the two techniques can improve the diagnostic efficiency of LDH.
