4 Spinal Imaging and Diagnostic Tests
4.1 Imaging Modalities
I. Ge n e r a l con sid e r at ion s.
A. Sp in a l im a gin g m od a lit ie s (Table 4.1):
1. Plain radiographs.
2. Computed tomography.
3. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
4. Bone scintigraphy.
5. Myelography.
6. Angiography.
7. Diskography.
B. A t h or ou gh h ist or y a n d p h ys ica l e xa m in a t io n s h o u ld le a d t o a p r elim in a r y
clinical diagnosis th at should predicate both the selection and the tim ing of im aging test s.
1. Diagnostic tests should be used to con rm information ascertained during the history and physical examination.
C. Se le ct io n o f im a g in g t es t s s h o u ld b e b as e d o n t h e a p p re cia t io n o f t h e s e n s it ivit y,
speci city, and accuracy of various im aging m odalities in conjunction with di erent disease processes.
1. Acute neck or back pain and radiculopathy:
a. The natural history is that of improvement with conservative treatment.
b. Diagnostic imaging should be delayed until 4 to 6 weeks after the onset of
symptoms.
(1) There are exceptions to an earlier im aging evaluation:
(a) Trauma.
(b) Progressive neurological de cit.
(c) Suspected neoplasm or infection.
2. Imaging evaluation alone without clinical correlation is associated with an extremely high false-positive rate.
a. Plain radiographs show aging and degenerative processes in virtually all
individuals after the age of 40 years (Fig. 4.1).
b. MRI ndings of the cervical spine dem onstrate the following:
(1) Fourteen percent of asym ptom atic individuals < 40 years old and 28%
> 4 0 years old h ad evide n ce of a h er n iate d d isk .
(2) Degenerative disk disease is more comm on in asym ptom atic
individuals, w ith an inciden ce of 25% for < 40 years old an d 56% for > 4 0 years old .
c. MRI ndings of the lum bar spine dem onstrate the following:
(1) In asym ptom atic individuals, a herniated disk was noted in 21% of
patients between 20 and 39 years of age and 36% of individuals > 60 years of age.

Fi g . 4 . 1 ( a ) Lateral radiograph of the lumbar
spine dem onst rating a vacuum disk sign at L4– L5. This is suggestive of disk space collapse and disk degeneration. (b) Lateral radiograph of the cervical spine demonstrating disk degen­eration.

(2) Spinal stenosis is found in 21% of those > 60 years of age, and bulging
disks are found in > 50% of patients in all age groups.
II. MRI (Fig. 4.2).
A. Co n t r a in dic a t io n s:
1. Ferrous metal implants in the brain.
2. Metal debris in the eye.
3. Inner ear implants.
4. Pacemakers.

(Fig. 4.3) (Table 4.2).
1. Repetition time (TR): time between radiofrequency (RF) pulses.
2. Echo time (TE): time between RF and recording.
3. T1-weighted image: short TR (400–600 ms), short TE (5–30 ms).
4. T2-weighted image: long TR (1,500–3,000 ms), long TE (50–120 ms).
D. Special in dicat ions:
1. Postoperative scar versus recurrent disk herniation.
a. Use of gadolinium contrast.
b. The scar is vascular and enhances with gadolinium. The disk does not
enhance with contrast agents. This is observed on T1-weighted sequence.
2. Infection versus tumor.
a. In spinal osteomyelitis, there is abnormal tissue with decreased signal
intensity on T1-weighted im ages and increased signal inten sity on T2­weighted images at the disk margin.
b. In tumors, the intervertebral disk is spared, and similar changes are noted
involving the en tire vertebral body.
3. Compression fractures versus pathological fractures.
a. More di cult to di erentiate.
b. In pathological fractures.
(1) Entire vertebral body involvem ent.
(2) Frequent involvem ent of the pedicle.
(3) Presence of soft tissue masses.
(4) Canal comprom ise.

E. Disk d e ge n er a t io n (Fig. 4.6 and Fig. 4.7):
1. A radial tear of the annulus brosus is outlined as a ssure extending from the nucleus to the periphery.
a. A high-intensity zone in the posterior annulus suggests a radial tear that
may be clinically signi cant.
2. Modic end plate changes:
a. Type 1 (Fig. 4.8).
(1) Low intensity on T1-weighted image and high intensity on T2-weighted
im age.
(2) Associated with segm ental spine instability and pain.
b. Type 2 (Fig. 4.9).
(1) High intensity on T1-weighted image and norm al on T2-weighted image
(2) Fatt y marrow changes around the end plates.
(3) Less likely to be sym ptom atic.
c. Type 3 (Fig. 4.10).
(1) Hypointense on T1- and T2-weighted im ages.
(2) Sclerotic advanced degenerative changes with less segm ental motion.
