[Computer tomographic findings in sacral destruction].

The diagnostic significance of computerized tomography in the diagnosis of destructive and deforming processes of the sacrum is demonstrated by means of 69 examinations of 55 patients. The results are compared with those obtained by means of conventional roentgenography, including tomography and bone scintigraphy. It is confirmed that recent CT scanners are the most sensitive instruments in existence for the visualization of affections of the sacrum in respect to identification and extension.
