To carry out computer-tomographic study (CT) of the spine usually use thick tomographic slice 3 mm, 3 mm pitch tomography.

All patients were studied in a 1.5 T MRI scanner (Magnetom Vision, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). T1 spin echo sagittal (TR700 and TE10, slice thickness 4 mm, matrix 412×435, FOV 280 mm, four acquisitions) and T1 spin echo axial (TR700-950—depending on the numbers of slices acquired—and TE10, slice thickness 4 mm, matrix 412×435, FOV 230 mm, four acquisitions) scans of the lumbar spine were obtained.

Noncontrast axial CT images of the head were obtained with 5 mm slice thickness.

CT scans were performed on a 64-multidetector-row CT scanner (Somatom Sensation
64; Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany). The following parameters were employed:effective mAs: 300; kV: 120; Pitch: 0.9; collimation: 16 x 0.75 mm, and 64 x 0.6 mm. Axial and sagittal multiplanar images were reconstructed with a slice thickness of 2 mm.
