Surgical findings in lumbar disc hernia were compared to pre-operative MRI, CTM and Myelogram findings. Ninety-one cases were studied using Love's method. The accuracy of hernia diagnosis in MRI was 59.3%, 41.2% in CTM, and 35.2% in Myelogram.
At the L5/S1 disc level, the accuracy of hernia diagnosis by CTM and Myelogram was decreased. MRI was useful for the diagnosis and cure of lumbar disc herniation.
