Radiologic Assessment of Spinal Fusion

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2012
Since surgical fusion of the spine was first described in 1911, multiple methods have been used to assess it. Although open surgical exploration remains the standard of care for determination of fusion, it is impractical in most clinical situations.
