To investigate the diagnosis effects of CT and MRI on lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, and analyze its imaging characteristics.

Sixty patients with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion in the Second People’s Hospital of Taiyuan from June 2017 to December 2017 were selected as the research objects. The 60 patients were divided into group A and group B, group A received CT imaging, and group B received MRI imaging examination, with 30 cases in ech group. The results of two methods were compared.

Twenty-eight patients in group A were diagnosed, with a diagnostic accuracy of 93.3% and 29 patients in group B were diagnosed, with a diagnostic accuracy of 96.7%. There was no significant difference in the accuracy rate between the two imaging examinations(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05).

Both of CT imaging examination and MRI imaging examination have high accuracy in the diagnosis of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, they are worth further promotion in clinical practice.
