Previous research demonstrated that anesthesiologists are inaccurate when using surface anatomy to locate vertebral levels. In this study, we compared the accuracy of two different landmarks to identify the seventh thoracic (T7) spinous process. METHODS: Two-hundred-ten patients referred for chest ...
Specific vertebra levels are associated with key anatomical landmarks: e.g., C4 (bifurcation of common carotid artery), T2 (aortic arch), T4 (bifurcation of trachea), L1 (end of spinal cord in adults), L3 (end of spinal cord in newborns), and L4 (level of iliac crest; bifurcation of...
Therefore, determining the vertebral level with Tuffier's line based on palpation inevitably is not very accurate. The aim of this study was to use ultrasound to verify the difference between vertebral levels for the palpated Tuffier's line in parturient and non-parturie...

The anatomy of muscles of the cervical and lumbar spine is made complex by the diversity of their numerous attachments. If those specifics are ignored, the anatomy becomes simpler. Small muscles connect consecutive spinous processes and transverse processes. Too small to move their vertebrae effectiv...
The inconstancy of these ligaments indicates they cannot be used reliably as landmarks for the location of the SVN at the foraminal-extraforaminal border. The anatomy described in this study also has implications for Kambin's triangular safe zone (described in [41]) and Harms’ transforaminal ...

Previous research shows that anesthesiologists are inaccurate when using surface anatomy to locate vertebral levels (2-5). This study compares the accuracy of two different landmarks to identify the T7 spinous process. METHODS: The protocol received local ethics committee approval. Two hundred and ...
Vertebral body levels are used in the medical field as a frame of reference to locate specific organs, vessels, nerves or landmarks. Any numeric variation or deviation in the vertebral column may lead to clinical errors. Previous findings have suggested a high association between numeric variation...
