Abstract

The use of tomographic imaging techniques, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to complement or replace plain-film radiography in the study of spine pain is becoming more and more common.

The aim of this paper is to provide a general review of the CT and MRI manifestations of the wide spectrum of lesions that can cause pain in the spinal column. This spectrum includes degenerative disease, malalignment, tumors, inflammatory processes, and infectious processes.

Precise knowledge and accurate reporting of the findings at CT and MRI are fundamental for clinical decision making in patients with spine pain.

Resumen

Las técnicas de imagen tomográficas, tomografía computarizada (TC) y resonancia magnética (RM) se vienen usando cada vez de forma más frecuente, en sustitución o adición a la radiografía simple, para el estudio del dolor de espalda.

El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una revisión general de las manifestaciones en TC y RM del amplio espectro de enfermedades que pueden ser responsables del dolor generado en la columna vertebral. Este espectro abarca la enfermedad degenerativa, de la alineación vertebral, tumoral, inflamatoria e infecciosa.

El conocimiento y la descripción exacta y uniforme de los hallazgos con dichas técnicas suponen un soporte fundamental para la toma de decisiones clínicas en los pacientes con dolor de raquis.
