Abstract: This study investigated the relationship between CT imaging features, symptom severity and curative effect in patients with lumbar disc herniation. 120 patients with lumbar disc herniation treated were selected. All patients were given conservative treatment. Logistic regression analysis showed that the type of nucleus pulposus protrusion, the size of frontal protrusion, the size of horizontal protrusion and the way of nerve root compression were the influencing factors of moderate and severe patients (P<0.05). The age of effective patients was lower than that of ineffective patients (P<0.05). The patients with moderate and severe, nucleus pulposus free spinal canal, frontal protrusion c-d domain, horizontal protrusion 3-4 areas, nerve root compression or adhesion, and dural sac compression and displacement of patients with ineffective treatment were higher than those with effective treatment (P<0.05). In patients with lumbar disc herniation, CT imaging features are related to severity and treatment effect.

Key words: lumbar disc herniation, computed tomography (CT), severity, treatment effect
