Comparison of the noncontrast CT (NCCT) and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) with the operative findings showed that in the majority of cases, NCCT was sufficient for diagnosis. CECT was useful in confirming the extent of epidural fibrosis. A major source of error using both techniques was the ...

Representative lumbar spine imaging in adults with achondroplasia. (a) X-ray of a 58 year-old women revealing a thoraco-lumbar kyphosis. (b) T2-weighted MRI of a 25 year-old women showing an involvement of the upper part of the lumbar spine including T12-L2 antero-posterior stenoses (thi...
[9] detected 65 cases of congenital NRAs in a retrospective analysis of 376 patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine for low back pain and/or radicular pain (17.3%). Artico et al. [10] identified three patients with lumbosacral CNRs, representing 0.25% of...
Twin studies have demonstrated the genetic contribution to degeneration of interverte- bral discs of the lumbar spine, observed through mag- netic resonance imaging (MRI) (Battie et al. 1995; Sambrook et al. 1999). Recently, several genes have been reported to associate with LDD, most of ...
X-ray anatomy of the lumbar spine The oval shadow of thepediclesof the vertebral arches are the most striking feature in the AP views of thelumbar spine(seeFigures 3.14 and 3.15). The last pedicles (only) are projected onto the lateral edge of the fifth lumbarvertebra; they are also less...

This study evaluated the clinical application and ...
A first step toward automatic assessment of lumbar spine MRI is segmentation of relevant anatomical structures, such as the vertebrae, intervertebral discs (IVDs) and the spinal canal. With recent advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), state-of-the-art spine segmentation ...
The third thoracic spinous process is level with the spine of the scapula. It is the level where the aorta reaches the spine and tracheal bifurcation. The seventh thoracic spinous process is level with the inferior scapular angle when the arm is by the side. The space below the eighth thor...
