Development of a quantitative method to evaluate pedicle screw loosening after spinal instrumentation using digital tomosynthesis [PDF]
Background In general, the diagnosis of pedicle screw (PS) loosening is evaluated qualitatively based on the presence of a radiolucent area around the implant wider than 1 mm on plain radiographs and computed tomography (CT).
