Conventional vs computed radiography: evaluation of myelography.

A prospective study was performed to compare the diagnostic efficacy of conventional film-screen (FS) imaging with computed radiography (CR) in myelography. Forty examinations were done with both methods. Digital myelography was found to have diagnostic accuracy equal to that of conventional film-screen examinations.
