People do have very successful spinal surgeries. These spinal surgeries were recommended after an MRI reading showed some type ofdegenerative disc disease. People who have successful spinal surgeries are not the people we see in our office. We see the people for whom spinal surgery, evenminimally ...
Axial 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 vertebrae (L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1). The segmentation and localization of...
DISCUSSION The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether specific MRI features, specifically axial location and type (bulge, protrusion, extrusion, sequestration) of a herniated disc, are associated with the short and long term outcomes of patients treated with high-velocity, low-amplitude SMT ...
The percent canal compromise was obtained by disc herniation area divided by canal cross-section area and multiplied by 100. Results The surgical group's overall mean herniated disc area was 219.6 square millimeter (mm 2 ), 179.8 at L4-5, and 267.4 at L5-S1. The nonoperative group's ...
