Abstract

Thirty-two patients with lumber canal stenosis were studied by comparing MRI with myelography. In the ability of diagnosis MRI and myelography were almost equal. The results in this study proved well the value of MRI. The sagittal diameter of the dural tube less than 5mm by midsaggital MRI suggested complete block on myelography.
