Diagnosis of herniated nucleus pulposus by digital spinal phlebography with false negative CT and/or radiculosaccography

Eur J Radiol. 1987 Aug;7(3):209-10.

Abstract

Saccoradiculography, spinal phlebography or NMR can be performed in cases of discrepancy between CT and clinical symptoms. We believe that the introduction of DSA must generate a renewed interest in spinal phlebography for cases with radicular syndrome and normal CT.
