Disc Morphology
Disc Morphology
With the use of pressure-controlled manometric discography, improved and more specific diagnostic categorization is possible.[1] Discography can detect structural morphology in a disc and show if it has begun to rupture or has tears in its outer ring.
The following images and corresponding graphs illustrate how looking at the reports generated during a discography procedure using the Stryker Discmonitor® help visualize the morphology of affected discs.
Normal disc
Fissured disc
Irregular disc
