Abstrakt | Background. Spinal sonography is a valuable diagnostic imaging modality as it has the ability to demonstrate good anatomic detail of the spinal canal, its contents, and the surrounding structures. The examination technique, the anatomy of the cord, the most common anomalies, and the evaluation of the sonography compared to magnetic resonance imaging are presented. Conclusions. Spinal sonography is recommended as the primary imaging modality for congenital anomalies of the lower spine in infants and as the screening modality for closed spinal dysraphism in infants and small children. The examination technique, the anatomy of the cord, the most common anomalies, and the evaluation of the sonography compared to magnetic resonance imaging are presented. | |
Izvleček | Izhodišča. Z ultrazvokom lahko pri pregledu hrbteničnega kanala dobro prikažemo anatomsko strukturo kanala kot tudi strukturo okoljnih tkiv. V prispevku opišem tehniko pregledovanja in podam pregled anatomije in najpogostejših prirojenih anomalij, primerjavo diagnostičnosti ultrazvoka z magnetnoresonančnim slikanjem ter vlogo in mesto ultrazvoka pri ocenjevanju hrbteničnega kanala. Zaključki. Ultrazvok priporočamo kot primarno slikovno diagnostično metodo za ocenjevanje okultnega hrbteničnega disrafizma pri dojenčkih in majhnih otrocih. | |
