The lumbar spines of one hundred patients with suspected lumbar disc herniations were analysed with computed tomography. The results are compared with the patients’ surgical diagnosis and with myelography. CT scanning is with few exceptions the diagnostic procedure of choice in investigating lumbar disc disease.
