2.2). The vertebral body is essentially the load-bearing element of the vertebra, and is made up of a thin cortical shell. Each vertebral body is surrounded by a trabecular body and is linked to adjacent vertebrae by the intervertebral discs, which are connected by the endplates on either ...
(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 © ...
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...
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...
It is limited to proximal upper limbs (brachium), putatively to ribs and vertebrae, all putatively influenced by hormonal effects ?GH/IGF. Upper arm length asymmetry and the higher BMI subset of right thoracic AIS In the higher BMI subset of girls with right thoracic AIS, upper arm length ...
First, spine radiographs are input into the Mask R-CNN, and then, the convolutional layer of the CNN backbone extracts features from the input image. Next, the candidate regions of the vertebrae are extracted using the RPN, with feature maps of different scales generated by the FPN. Finally,...
Major predictors of PJF and clinically relevant PJK included age, lower instrumented vertebrae (LIV) and preoperative SVA, while the top three predictors for pseudarthrosis were the LIV, use of bone morphogenic protein (BMP) and the max coronal cobb angle. The beauty of machine learning is that...
Incomplete/total non-fusion of S1 with remainder of sacrum results in a mobile "L6" vertebrae L5 sacralization L5 partially/completely fuses with sacrum Suboccipital triangle boundaries Rectus capitis posterior major (Medially) Obliquus capitis superior (Laterally)Obliquus capitis inferior (inferiorly) ...
anteroposterior orientation on both the left and right sides of each patient. Additionally, we cut each lumbar spine radiograph image into a square shape that included the vertebra corresponding to the level at which the TFESI was performed, as well as the vertebrae juxta below and above that ...
