Left Neural Foraminal Area Measurement
|
RadElement ID |
RDE1133 |
|
Definition |
Measure the area of the left neural foramina at each level. The algorithm should be able to provide a numeric value for the cross sectional area of the foramen in the sagittal plane defined by the location of the pedicle for the L5/S1 foramen and sequentially every visible foramen superior to this foramen. |

Expansion to other parts of the spine (cervical and thoracic) and to other modalities (MRI).
Research potential includes the creation and confirmation of normative data for spinal canal and foraminal areas.
Include studies that have surgical hardware.
