PDFAbstract
Objective To compare the difference between MRI and CT in the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation and the clinical application value. Methods 53 cases of lumbar disc herniation who were admitted into the hospital during June 2012 to June 2015 were studied. All patients underwent CT and MRI examination. The diagnostic accuracy of the two methods was compared. Results The diagnostic accuracy of MRI in the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation and intervertebral disc dissociation was 100% which was significantly higher than that of CT. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The total detection rate of MRI was 94.8% (55/58) which was significantly higher than 70.7% (41/58) in the control group and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with CT, MRI is of higher diagnostic accuracy in the clinical diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation and the clinical application value is greater, but CT has its own advantages. In clinic, suitable examination method can be chosen according to the practice and the two methods can be combined to improve the diagnostic accuracy, which is helpful to clinical treatment.
