Fig 1. Lateral labeled diagram of the human vertebral spinal column showing vertebrae numbering order and the 5 different regions of the spine.Continued...The Atlas is the topmost vertebra, and along with C2, forms the joint connecting the skull and spine. Its chief peculiarity is that it ...
(or backbone or spine) The column of vertebrae between the skull and the hip bones, supporting the body and shielding the spinal cord. It has five sections: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal.See alsococcyx,sacrum. Dictionary of Unfamiliar Words by Diagram Group Copyright © ...
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 ...
Structure and function of the vertebral column. Vertebral column Columna vertebralis 1/6 Synonyms: Spine The vertebral column (spine or backbone) is a curved structure composed of bony vertebrae that are interconnected by cartilaginous intervertebral discs. It is part of the axial skeleton and ex...
A cervical spine injury refers to an injury in the neck. In this diagram, you can see the bones in the neck labeled C1-C7. The C refers to the cervical region and the number refers to each individual vertebrae or neck bone for a total of seven neck bones. You can also see the spin...
vertebrae. The axis has a dens, which projects cranially to allow pivotal motion between the atlas and axis. The condyles are oriented near the transverse plane to allow cervical spine rotation. The C3-C6 vertebrae have nonbifidspinous processes, large and flat spinous processes, caudal and ...
The lumbar spine is located in the lower half of the vertebral column, inferior to the thoracic vertebrae/rib cage and superior to the pelvis and sacrum. The lumbar vertebrae are five in number and desginated as vertebrae L1-L5. They are primarily responsible for bearing the weight of the...
These typically occur in the younger population (children and adolescents), with a slight male predilection. They have similar histological features but vary in terms of the nidus size (osteoid osteoma being smaller). Most occur within long bones, with 10% occurring in the vertebrae, predominantly...
An assembly for remotely operating a patient's spine. A compressor / distractor mechanism is attached to the spine anatomy or vertebral screws on the adjacent vertebrae of the spine surgery site in the patient's spine. A flexible cable is operatively connected to the compressor / distractor ...
