Is sheep lumbar spine a suitable alternative model for human spinal researches? Morphometrical comparison study
Sheep are commonly used as a model for human spinal orthopaedic research due to their similarity in morphological and biomechanical features. This study aimed to document the volumes of vertebral bodies and compare the generated results as well as morphometry of the sheep lumbar spine to human published data. For this purpose, computed tomography scans were carried out on five adult Merino shee...
متن کاملBeam Collimation during Lumbar Spine Radiography: A Retrospective Study
Introduction: Collimating the primary beam to the area of diagnostic interest (ADI) has been strongly recommended as an effective method to reduce patient’s radiation dose and to improve image quality during radiology practice. Lack or inadequate collimation results in excessive radiation dose to patients and deterioration image quality.Objective: To assess the quality of beam collimation dur...
متن کاملA novel kinematic model for a functional spinal unit and a lumbar spine.
PURPOSE The aim of this paper is to present the novel model for the functional spinal unit and spine designed as a rigid mechanism and solve it with methods commonly used in robotics. METHOD The structure of the intervertebral joint is analyzed with special attention paid to elements defining the displacements in the joint. The obtained mechanism is then numerically solved using a constraint ...
متن کاملA Comparison of Radiostereometric Analysis and Computed Tomography for the Assessment of Lumbar Spinal Fusion in a Sheep Model
Study Design Prospective animal study. Objective The aim of this animal study is to evaluate the accuracy of radiostereometric analysis (RSA) compared with computed tomographic (CT) scan in the assessment of spinal fusion after anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) using histology as a gold standard. Methods Three non-adjacent ALIFs (L1-L2, L3-L4, and L5-L6) were performed in nine sheep. The ...
متن کاملStudy of Compression-related Lumbar Spine Fracture Criteria Using a Full Body Fe Human Model
A detailed lumbar spine FE component model (including vertebrae, inter-vertebral discs, all ligaments and facet joints of T12-L5) was built per the Global Human Body Model Consortium (GHBMC) CAD data. The lumbar model was correlated with the Post-Mortem Human Subject (PMHS) lumbar spine tests under flexion, compression and anterior shear loading modes in the physiological ranges (Belwadi, 2008)...
