Abstract
Eleven operated herniated disks in 10 patients were evaluated preoperatively with plain films, myelography and magnetic resonance imaging. Plain X-ray was a valuable supplement to MRI for studying the bony changes. Myelography showed 7 of 11 herniated disks while MRI gave correct diagnosis in all. It is concluded that MRI can replace myelography and computerized tomography in the preoperative evaluation of cervical herniated disk. The other examinations may be supplementary in some cases.Entities:
