METHODS T1ρ- and T2-weighted images of the lumbar spine were obtained for 63 asymptomatic young subjects (34 men and 29 women; mean age, 22.95 ± 1.8 yr), with a 1.5-T MRI scanner. T1ρ mapping and values in the NP and anulus f...
The article presents a cross-sectional study using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of lumbar spine, conducted by Bruno Beomonte Zobel et al. The objective of the study was to assess early intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) quantified by MRI in asymptomatic young adults. The results showed a...
To our knowledge, no study has investigated one common measurement site to assess SM and AT from a single MRI slice, which would be an enormous progress for the assessment of, for example, sarcopenic obesity. For individual slices obtained at the lumbar spine, several authors showed strong ...
BMD measurements: Bone density was measured at the start--and at the end of the treatment with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry--and the whole-body, lumbar spine, hip & forearm BMD's were all measured. Bone marker measurements: Blood samples to measure biomarkers of bone turnover were taken...
X-ray: lateral cervical spine In ED; Complete C 6 tetraplegia, Frankel A Bulbocavonosus reflex present Gardner -Wells tongs placed for traction Sensation was lost when traction decreased for the MRI Traction of up to 70 pounds failed to reduce bilaterally jumped and locked C6-7. During tract...
Multifidus Degeneration, A New Risk Factor for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Case–Control Study 2017, World Neurosurgery Citation Excerpt : The superficial multifidus originates from the long sacroiliac ligament and inner side of the posterior superior iliac spine, whereas the deep multifidus originates ...
(B) A graph of FNP intensity along a line profile from nose to tail demonstrates a relative decrease in total signal along the dorsal brain with a slight increase in signal along the dorsal spine over time. (C) AUCs calculated from the brain signal (−20 to 10 mm) and spinal ...
To determine whether there is a difference between patients with low back pain and healthy controls in a test battery score for movement control of the lumbar spine. This was a case control study, carried out in five outpatient physiotherapy practices in
For future studies, we suggested that subjects undergo a MRI scan beside the neurological examination to make sure that no patients are included in the study with subtle neuromuscular disorder. Finally, these results open the perspective of a more extended study on the quantification of the lower ...
