Measurement of vertebral body. It is a thick bony structure which provides strength to the spine and protection for the spinal cord. The purpose of this study is to perform quantitative measurement based on the standardized uptake value suv of the uptake of tc 99m methylene diphosphonate mdp in the normal vertebrae using a single photon emission tomography spectcomputed tomography ct scanner. Telemeterized vbrs were implanted in five patients suffering from compression fractures of the l1 or l3 lumbar vertebral body. Epub 2016 aug 6. The human body has 33 vertebrae 24 of which make up the spine. All of the upper bodys weight bears down on the lumbar vertebrae leading to many back problems in this region despite the size and strength of the vertebrae.
For compression fracture vertebral body height loss vbhl and kyphotic angle ka are two important imaging parameters for determining the prognosis and appropriate treatment. Gulgun kayalioglu in the spinal cord 2009. It is generally cylindrical in shape but there is a wide range of variation for the shape and size in different regions and in different mammalian species. The sacral region of the spine contains only the sacrum a single bone in the adult skeleton that is formed by the fusion of 5 smaller vertebrae during adolescence. The vertebral body corpus vertebra supports the weight of the trunk. Normal vertebral body size and compressive strength.
The body of the vertebra and the vertebral arch form the vertebral foramen the larger central opening that accommodates the spinal canal which encloses and protects the spinal cord. The aim of this study was to measure the loads on a vertebral body replacement vbr during level and staircase walking and to determine the effects of walking speed and using walking aids. Measurement of kyphosis and vertebral body height loss in traumatic spine fractures. Vertebrae articulate with each other to give strength and flexibility to the spinal column and the shape at their back and front aspects determines the range of movement. A lateral computed tomographic ct reconstruction with measurements on the fourth lumbar vertebra in a 47 year old male subject vbhp vertebral body height posterior vbha vertebral body height. This study used previous measurement methods to assess the degree of vbhl and ka compare and examine differences between various measurement methods and examine the correlation between relevant measurement parameters.
The vertebral body is the largest part of each vertebra.
