The use of computerised tomographs in the diagnosis of thoracolumbar injury

F Handelberg, MA Bellemans, P Opdecam, and PP Casteleyn

This paper presents four patients with injuries to the thoracolumbar spine assessed by computerised tomography. This technique enabled an easy, quick and accurate diagnosis to be made, avoiding dangerous manipulation of the patient. The scans were analysed using the anatomical classification of Louis to evaluate the instability of the lesions. Control CT scans were used to monitor progress and to provide an accurate prognosis within acceptable limits of irradiation.
