Intradural Disc Herniation in the Lumbar Spine: A Case Report

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2020
Intradural disc herniation is a rare presentation of a common pathology, comprising around 0.28- 0.3% of all disc herniations. It occurs when disc material related to an intervertebral disc penetrates the spinal dura and lies in an intradural ...

Parametric study of lumbar belts in the case of low back pain: effect of patients' specific characteristics [PDF]

Computational Biomechanics for Medicine, Springer International Publishing, pp.43-59, 2020, 2020
Objective: A numerical 3D model of the human trunk was developed to study the biomechanical effects of lumbar belts used to treat low back pain. Methods: This model was taken from trunk radiographies of a person and simplified so as to make a parametric study by varying morphological parameters of the patient, characteristic parameters of the lumbar ...

HCA-Net: Hierarchical Context Attention Network for Intervertebral Disc Semantic Labeling [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Accurate and automated segmentation of intervertebral discs (IVDs) in medical images is crucial for assessing spine-related disorders, such as osteoporosis, vertebral fractures, or IVD herniation. We present HCA-Net, a novel contextual attention network architecture for semantic labeling of IVDs, with a special focus on exploiting prior geometric ...

Fully Automatic Intervertebral Disc Segmentation Using Multimodal 3D U-Net [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Intervertebral discs (IVDs), as small joints lying between adjacent vertebrae, have played an important role in pressure buffering and tissue protection. The fully-automatic localization and segmentation of IVDs have been discussed in the literature for many years since they are crucial to spine disease diagnosis and provide quantitative parameters in ...
