Abstract

This article has introduced the nature, generation, use, and future of digital imaging. As digital technology has transformed other aspects of our lives--has the reader tried to buy a conventional record album recently? almost all music store stock is now compact disks--it is sure to continue to transform medicine as well. Whether that transformation will be to our liking as physicians or a source of frustration and disappointment is dependent on understanding the issues involved.

[Quality control of radiographic imaging of the lumbar spine].

The qualitative control of the roentgenographic findings was performed independently by the assessment of five x-ray specialists on 40 two-directional lumbosacral roentgenograms. The findings were based on questioners including all details and a table of the internationally used "Radiological Diagnosis". In earlier publications the anatomical and structural changes were considered the risk factors of the waist. (Osteoporosis, changes in the position of the vertebral body, change in the shape of the spine, restriction of the intervertebral cleft and deformation of the small articulations). The views of the research workers were compared by means of statistical analysis. Compared with other authors the methods of these findings are in agreement with the international norms. These findings drew attention to the necessity of an objective assessment of the subjective findings.

[Imaging of the spine].

Modern imaging techniques allow early and precise diagnosis of spinal diseases. Their sensitivity and specificity are variable, but in general they are more complementary than competitive. After emphasizing the different patterns which characterize the late evolution of diagnostic imaging, the author reviews the indications and limits of plain films, bone scintigraphy, computed tomography, and in particular of magnetic resonance, in trauma, degenerative lesions, inflammations, infections and tumors of the spine.
