Standardization and validation of a novel and simple method to assess lumbar dural sac size
AIM To develop and validate a simple, reproducible method to assess dural sac size using standard imaging technology. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was institutional review board-approved. Two readers, blinded to the diagnoses, measured anterior-posterior (AP) and transverse (TR) dural sac diameter (DSD), and AP vertebral body diameter (VBD) of the lumbar vertebrae using MRI images from 53...
متن کاملSignificance of spinal canal and dural sac dimensions in predicting treatment of lumbar disc herniation.
This retrospective study was performed to investigate the significance of quantitative MRI measurements of spinal canal and dural sac dimensions for treatment decisions and clinical outcome of lumbar disc herniation. 182 patients (111 nonsurgical patients and 71 surgical patients) were included, while 78 nonsurgical patients and 50 surgical patients were enrolled in the final follow-up. The ini...
متن کاملDigital computed tomography evaluation of spinal canal and dural sac before and after surgical decompression of lumbar stenosis.
INTRODUCTION Advances in digital computed tomography prompted the authors to use this technique to measure correlations between the lumbar spinal canal and the dural sac. The aim of the study was to: 1. Evaluate the value of surgical decompression of neural structures using digital computed tomography. 2. Establish mathematical correlations between the surface area of the dural sac and the narr...
متن کاملImpact of anthropometric, lifestyle, and body composition variables on ultrasound measurements in school children.
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurement at hand phalanges was demonstrated to be a reliable method to assess skeletal maturation during childhood and adolescence. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of age, gender, puberty, lifestyle factors, and body composition on QUS parameters and to provide a normative database for QUS in school children in Lebanon. Measurements of phalang...
متن کاملDural sac area is a more sensitive parameter for evaluating lumbar spinal stenosis than spinal canal area
Narrowing of the dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCSA) and spinal canal cross-sectional area (SCCSA) have been considered major causes of lumbar central canal spinal stenosis (LCCSS). DSCSA and SCCSA were previously correlated with subjective walking distance before claudication occurs, aging, and disc degeneration. DSCSA and SCCSA have been ideal morphological parameters for evaluating LCCSS....
