Summary
This study measured human thoracic spine dimensions using CT scans. Key measurements of vertebrae, spinal canal, and cord provide anatomical data for research.
Area of Science:
- Anatomy
- Radiology
- Biometry
Background:
- Accurate anatomical data of the human spine is crucial for medical research and clinical applications.
- Previous studies may lack detailed biometrical data for the thoracic spine.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide detailed biometrical data of the human thoracic spine.
- To establish reference measurements for vertebral and spinal canal dimensions.
Main Methods:
- CT scans were performed on a human thoracic spine (C7 to L1).
- Horizontal cross-sections were taken every 6 mm.
- Measurements included vertebral and spinal canal diameters, spinal cord dimensions, muscular depth, and density.
Main Results:
- Detailed biometrical data for the thoracic spine were collected.
- Measurements of vertebral and spinal canal dimensions were recorded.
- Muscular depth and density variations were noted.
Conclusions:
- The study provides comprehensive biometrical data for the human thoracic spine.
- These measurements can serve as a valuable reference for anatomical and clinical studies.
- Further research can utilize this data for developing surgical techniques or diagnostic tools.
