Abstract: In case of painful scoliosis, a search for etiologic factors in the vertebral spinal canal and adjacent structures should be made. MRI with Gadolinium is useful to look for various pathology in and around the spine in particular of spinal cord. CT scanning is indispensible for bony details. Thus CT and MRI are complementary in evaluation of pathology of spine in any modern imaging centers.
