Fully Automatic Segmentation of Lumbar Vertebrae from CT Images using Cascaded 3D Fully Convolutional Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 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 ...

Rate of presence of 11 thoracic vertebrae and 6 lumbar vertebrae in asymptomatic Chinese adult volunteers [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2018 Background An increasing number of studies on spinal morphology in asymptomatic Asian and Western patients have been reported. Variation in spinal anatomy among patients is considered as the cause of wrong-level surgery in up to 40% of cases. The present

Small‐ to medium‐sized mammals show greater morphological disparity in cervical than lumbar vertebrae across different terrestrial modes of locomotion [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionDuring mammalian terrestrial locomotion, body flexibility facilitated by the vertebral column is expected to be correlated with observed modes of locomotion, known as gait (e.g., sprawl, trot, hop, bound, gallop).

Morphometric Study of Atypical Lumbar Vertebrae and their Clinical Significance [PDF]
International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2021 Introduction: Lumbar pedicles are short and strong. They form an important part of lumbar spine and play role in transmission of weight from neural arch to the anterior part of vertebral column.

Thoracic and Lumbar Vertebral Bone Mineral Density Changes in a Natural Occurring Dog Model of Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis [PDF]
, 2015 Ankylosing spinal disorders can be associated with alterations in vertebral bone mineral density (BMD). There is however controversy about vertebral BMD in patients wuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH).
