Relationship Between the Development of the Spinal Canal and the Etiopathogenesis of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
INTRODUCTION: The presence of a pre-existing narrow spinal canal may have an important place in the ethiopathogenesis of lumbar spinal stenosis. By consequence the study of the development of the spinal canal is crucial. The first goal of this work is to

Fully Automatic Segmentation of Lumbar Vertebrae from CT Images using Cascaded 3D Fully Convolutional Networks

open access: yes, 2017
We present a method to address the challenging problem of segmentation of lumbar vertebrae from CT images acquired with varying fields of view. Our method is based on cascaded 3D Fully Convolutional Networks (FCNs) consisting of a localization FCN and a ...

Cognitive Bias in Action: Delayed Diagnosis of Thoracic Meningioma Mimicking Lumbosacral Radiculopathy—A Case Report

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The highly variable clinical presentations of sciatica, combined with cognitive biases, often lead to misattribution of the underlying pathology responsible for patient symptoms. Such limitations can contribute to significant diagnostic delays.

Is spinal stenosis assessment dependent on slice orientation? A magnetic resonance imaging study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Introduction: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) treatment is based primarily on the clinical criteria providing that imaging confirms radiological stenosis. The radiological measurement more commonly used is the dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCA).

Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stromal Cell‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Attenuate Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Under Inflammatory Stress in an In Vitro 3D Culture System

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
This study explores the therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from Wharton's Jelly mesenchymal stem cells in an in vitro 3D model of intervertebral disc degeneration under inflammatory stress. The treatment with WJ‐MSC‐EVs enhanced nucleus pulposus cell proliferation, viability, and extracellular matrix synthesis while reducing ...

Comprehensive Evaluation of Facet Joints Osteoarthritis Radiological Features on Lumbar CT: A Multitask Deep Learning Approach

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
To develop a multitask deep learning (DL) model for assessing the severity of five radiological features of facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA) on lumbar spine CT and evaluate the performance of readers with DL assistance. ABSTRACT Background Accurately evaluating the radiological features of facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA) may help to elucidate its ...
