Abstract
Since development of general purpose scanners, computed tomography (CT) of the entire body has become possible (6). Spatial resolution of modern equipment is already rather good with regard to dense structures such as bone. As a method of axial radiography, CT appears, therefore, well suited for the investigation of the bony spinal canal, for reasons of anatomy and ease of positioning, particularly in the cervical region.
