The perceivability of Schmorl's nodes in plain radiographs and discograms in the thoracolumbar junctional region (T10-L1) of the cadaveric spine was assessed by comparing the radiologic measurements with bone measurements. Schmorl's nodes in bone specimens were encountered in 19 of 24 spines studied. They were more than two times as common between vertebrae T10-11 and T11-12 as between T12 and L1 (P less than 0.01). When the areas of actual Schmorl's nodes exceeded 0.5 cm2 (corresponding to an aperture with a diameter of 0.8 cm), 47% of the nodes were seen in plain lateral radiographs and 68% in discograms. When the area measured 0.5 cm2 or less, only 24% could be perceived in plain lateral radiographs and 23% in discograms. The clinical significance of Schmorl's nodes remains uncertain as long as they are difficult to detect in vivo.
