Spinal cord segmentation is a crucial step in the positioning procedure. This study proposed a fully automated approach for the spinal cord segmentation from 2D axial-view MRI slices of patients with CSM. The proposed method was trained and tested using clinical data from 20 CSM patients (359 ...
I Treatment of severe double spinal cord injuries A Cso kay et al 493 a crest bone graft and instrumentation with plate and screws extending from C6 to T1. In my view, the treatment of the T4 compression fracture is quite controversial. I am sure that there will be advocates for both...

The spinal cord is housed within the thoracicvertebral canal, which has a relatively small diameter when compared to the cervical and lumbar canal (Fig. 71.2). The lower thoracic vertebral canal and spinal cord are wider to allow for the lumbar segment of the spinal cord. In addition, thever...
View in context Sherrington, by experiments on dogs, showed that many of the usual marks of emotion were present in their behaviour even when, by severing the spinal cord in the lower cervical region, the viscera were cut off from all communication with the brain, except that existing through...
(b) When the cervical lordotic curvature is adequately preserved, a dorsal decompression with/ without fusion may sufficiently decompress the spinal cord. Illustrated here is a laminectomy involving resection of the C3-C7 lamin...

Function: It provides impulses responsible for the limb and axial body movement, carrying motor information for voluntary movement. The Extrapyramidal Tractis crucial for involuntary movements and mainly occurs in the anterior portion of the cord and functions by indirectly controlling the anterior motor...
