What is the lumbar spine? The Human Spine: The human spine is made up of a column of vertebrae that run from the base of the skull down to the tailbone (called the coccyx). The spine is split up into different
Lumbar spine fusion is a common procedure associated with a high cost burden and risk of serious complications. We aimed to summarise systematic reviews on the effec- tiveness of lumbar spine fusion for most diagnoses. We found no high-quality system- atic reviews and the risk of bias of ...

The sacral spine, or sacrum, is the fused triangular bone at the base of the spine. It is located just below the lumbar region and just above the coccyx or tailbone, where it anchors the pelvis to the spine. The sacrum does not fuse together until early adulthood, and when it does, ...
However, depending on the region of the spine being scanned, spinal MRIs can incidentally show organs. In particular, scans of the lumbar spine can provide images of organs, including the kidneys, liver, spleen, and uterus7. It is possible that this incidental imaging of organs may show ...
