Background: Although the radiographic parameters for diagnosing central lumbar canal stenosis are well described, diagnosis of neuroforaminal (NFS) less defined. Previous studies have used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiography to describe dimensions (NFDs). Those methods, however, limitations that may substantially distort measurements. Existing literature on use computed tomography (CT) investigate normal NFDs is limited. Methods: This anatomic assessment evaluated CT 300 female...
Spinal fusion through the anterior-to-psoas (ATP) technique harbors several approach-related risks. We used abdominal computed tomography imaging to analyze L1-L5 ATP approach measurements, feasibility, degree of obstruction by non-neurological structures, and influence patient characteristics on dimensions.The vascular window, psoas safe incision line anterior posterior margins for were measured imaging. The feasibility presence kidneys, ribs, liver, spleen, iliac crests within also...
INTRODUCTION: The normative relationship between lumbar intervertebral disc space height (DSH) and neuroforaminal dimensions (NFD) has yet to be defined. METHODS: Anterior, middle, posterior DSH were measured on 350 female male patients 18 35 years of age without spinal pathology. NFD defined as sagittal anterior-to-posterior (AP) width, axial AP foraminal height, area. Statistical analyses performed assess associations among DSH, NFD, patient weight, body mass index, sex, ethnicity....
Rationale and objectives This study seeks to generate a model based on two linear measurements, anteroposterior (AP) diameter interpedicular (IPD) distance, approximate the cervical central canal (CCC) area in non-pathologic patient population by employing calculations of shapes such as ellipse, rectangle, triangle. Secondarily, this aims second-order approximations (SOAs), using aforementioned shape approximations, increase utility measurement-based model. Methods The authors reviewed...
Study Design. Retrospective cohort. Objective. This study seeks to establish the normal distribution of vasculature surrounding SI joint while also demonstrating associations between and laterality, sex, ethnicity. Summary Background Data. Sacroiliac (SI) fusion surgery has emerged as a viable treatment option for patients suffering from low back pain due chronic dysfunction. Due potential complications iatrogenic injury vasculature, it becomes critical understand anatomy locations with high...
Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a rare process with significant risk for morbidity and mortality. Treatment includes an extended course of antibiotics or without surgery depending on the clinical presentation. Both non-operative surgically treated patients require close follow-up to ensure resolution infection recurrence and/or progression neurologic deficits. No previous study has looked specifically at in SEA population, but review literature does show evidence varying degrees difficulty...

INTRODUCTION: While radiographic parameters for diagnosis of central lumbar canal stenosis are well known, neural foraminal less defined. Previous research has used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to describe dimensions. However, the blooming artifact on MRI may distort these measurements. There is limited using computed tomography (CT) investigate normal neuroforamina METHODS: We evaluated CT 55 female and male subjects between 18 35 years age. Those with history degenerative disc disease,...
