Chondrosarcoma of the Cervical Vertebrae

Congenital Fusion of Typical Cervical Vertebrae

Developmental anomalies of the vertebral column are common especially in the cervical region and thus become the point of keen interest for a long time to the anatomists and related health professionals. Normal typical cervical vertebrae; i.e., 3rd to 6th are characterized by the presence of small body, triangular spinal canal, foramina transversarium, superior articular facet directed backward...

Skeletal maturation determined by cervical vertebrae development.

The aim of this study was to determine the validity of cervical vertebrae radiographic assessment to predict skeletal maturation. Left hand-wrist and lateral cephalometric radiographs of 958 Spanish children from 5 to 18 years of age were measured. On the left hand-wrist radiographs the classification of Grave and Brown was used to assess skeletal maturation. Cervical vertebrae maturation was e...

Monostotic fibrous dysplasia involved in cervical vertebrae

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) was firstly reported by Lichtenstein in 1938 and can be divided into two main kinds of subtypes: monostotic fibrous dysplasia (MFD) and polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD) with or without endocrinopathy. MFD involved in cervical vertebrae is extremely rare. Two special cases of MFD involved in cervical vertebrae were treated by anterior surgical resection and fusion with ...

Anterior Osteophyte Identification in Cervical Vertebrae

Radiologist always examines X-ray to determine abnormal changes in cervical, lumbar & thoracic vertebrae. Osteophyte (bony growth) may appear at the corners of vertebrae so that vertebral shape becomes abnormal. This paper presents the idea from Image processing techniques such as customised Hough transform which will be used for segmentation which should be independent of rotation, scale, nois...
