Diagnostic value of zonography and coronary computed tomography in upper spinal disease and injuries

Abstract

The diagnostic potentialities of coronary computed tomography (CT) (23 patients) and zonography (25 patients) were evaluated by analyzing the results of examinations. Zonography is largely indicated in limited mobility of the neck. Coronary CT requires sufficient cervical mobility. The latter method has a high resolution and allows one to diagnose abnormalities undetectable during routine X-ray examination. Zonography and coronary CT substantially elevate the quality of diagnosis in various injuries and diseases of the upper spine.
