BM samples were from patients who received palliative RT for a secondary malignant neoplasm of bone in the thoracic spine between January 2016 and September 2019. HB samples were from individuals who received curative RT for non-metastatic lung cancer (as their CT images covered the same anatomy)...
(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 ...

Finally, these results open the perspective of a more extended study on the quantification of the lower limb joint efforts for the evaluation of the spine deformation on the knee and ankle joint in scoliotic patients during gait. The information provided by the quantification of internal joint eff...
SpineLOW-BACK-PAINSLEEP QUALITYLORDOSISBackgroundHumans should sleep for about a third of their lifetime and the choice of the mattress is very important from a quality-of-life perspective. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to assess the changes of lumbar angles, evaluated in a ...
They underwent MRI of the thoracic and lumbar spine, and the ratio of anterior vertical height to posterior vertical height of the vertebral body (APR) was determined from T10 to L2 on T2 weighted sagittal images. Results APR was 0.92±0.08 at T10, 0.92±0.08 at T11, 0.90±0.06 at T12...
OUTCOME MEASURES: Global and segmental sagittal angulational motion of lumbar spine. METHODS: Neutral, flexion (40掳) and extension (10掳) dynamic MRI investigation was done for each patient and volunteers in the sitting position. Measurements were done by using a software analysis (MR Analyzer V...
