The examination of thoracic spine includes physical examination, imaging and laboratory tests. 1. Physical examination: It is the most basic examination method. Palpation, percussion and specialized special examination of the thoracic spine can be taken to initially confirm the existence of fractures, structural abnormalities, abnormal mobility, etc., but it cannot confirm the diagnosis completely and accurately. 2. Imaging examination: This is the main way to examine the thoracic spine. X-rays or CT can be used to confirm the anatomical sequence of the thoracic spine, whether there is any damage or destruction of the bone, and whether there is any space-occupying lesion, etc. It is also a way to confirm the diagnosis of diseases such as fractures. 3. Laboratory tests: For some infectious, rheumatoid and immunological orthopedic diseases, laboratory tests such as blood and cerebrospinal fluid are also needed to further clarify the diagnosis. Thoracic spine examination should be performed by a doctor or with the help of equipment.
