Rapid Diagnosis of Cauda Equina Syndrome
Photon-counting CT demonstrated its usefulness as a rapid alternative in selected patients with suspected cauda equina syndrome (excluding spinal hematomas and spondylodiscitis), when MRI is unavailable or contraindicated. There were strong correlations in spinal canal stenosis measurements with MRI, showing its potential as an alternative to MRI in nonacute conditions of the lumbar spine, such as degenerative disk disease.
