Lumbar Spine Discs Classification Based on Deep Convolutional Neural Networks using Axial View MRIAxial Lumbar disc herniation recognition is a difficult task to achieve, due to many challenges such as complex background, noise, blurry image. Lumbar discs are small joints that lie between each two ...

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of compressive axial loading in imaging of the lumbar spine in patients with clinically suspected spinal stenosis. Material and Methods: A total of 84 patients were examined, 50 with CT (after intrathecal contrast administration) and 34 with MR. First the dural sa...
Axial loading techniques have expanded the indications for the use of high-tech methods of radiological diagnosis in assessing the statics of the lumbar spine.Methods124 patients underwent conventional radiographic examination of the lumbar spine in the frontal and lateral projections in a standing ...
A larger field of view, axial MRI studies covering the complete lumbar spine or additional imaging are required to accurately determine the anatomical labels20. These were not available for the majority of studies in this dataset. The use of traditional clinical nomenclature was therefore considered ...
Thecervical, thoracic andlumbar spine MRIshould be scanned in individual sections. The scan protocol parameter like e.g. thefield of view(FOV),slice thicknessandmatrixare usually different forcervical, thoracic andlumbarspine MRI, but the method is similar. The standard views in the basic spinal...
Objective Through followed-up patients of lumbardisc herniations after operation,to compare stabilityof the lumbar spine by treatment of three different surgical approaches of the fenestration and semi-laminectomywith total-laminectomy after operation.Methods Five-hundred and thirty-eight patients undergone ...
2. The area of the spinal canal (ASC) was calculated from the mean value of the three different slice areas from T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the axial view (Fig. 3). Figure 2 Overview of the radiographic parameters of interest. Yellow arrow indicated PISH; red arrow indicated ...
c T1 axial view. d T2 axial view Full size image We planned lumbar discectomy under a microscope. First, wide fenestration at the right L5/S interlaminar space was performed to identify the right S1 nerve root that was compressed by HNP. However, an anomaly of the conjoined right L5–S1 ...
However, there is still no clear agreement as to the appropriate indications for spine surgery. Recent studies have found that many predictive factors play a role in postsurgical outcomes, including preoperative depression and somatic awareness [16], psychosocial issues [17], axial joint pain [17]...
