Sažetak
Nowadays, there are different radiological modalities which are available for spinal pathology imaging. The orthopedic and trauma suregons' area of interest mostly comprises spinal deformities, degenerative changes and spinal injuries. Radiography is usually initial method for spinal imaging. It is able to reveal deformities and congenital bony abnormalities, and, with lower sensitivity, to depict traumatic changes. Computed tomography (CT) enables better visualization of spinal fractures and dislocations using multiplanar and 3D imaging compared with radiography. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the only radiological method for imaging bone marrow edema and with high contrast resolution it is a method of choice for depicting both bone and soft-tissue changes making it valuable in diagnostic imaging of traumatic lesions of vertebrae and paravertebral soft-tissue as well as pathology within spinal canal.
