Spine
-
Prospective cohort observational study. ⋯ AMDs do not detect modern spinal implants. HHMDs detect all modern posterior spinal implants; this has implications for patient documentation.
-
Cross-sectional study. ⋯ Lower BMD is associated with a decreasing trend in both lumbar vertebral and disc volumes in elderly subjects but an increase in the Hm of the intervertebral discs.
-
A retrospective study of modic changes (MCs) in degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS). ⋯ The prevalence of MCs in patients with DLS was significantly higher than that of patients without DLS. Most of them were type 2 and usually located on the concave side of apex vertebrae. MCs were significantly associated with intervertebral disc degeneration and lumbar scoliosis.
