  • 1. Hopital Lariboisiere, 75 - Paris (France)

Description

A good understanding of the normal anatomy of the lumbar spine is required for the interpretation of CT-scans obtained for ischiatic or crural neuralgia. An attempt has been made to rely on precise terminology to designate each anatomical region pertaining to the lumbar canal. Examples of tomodensitometric investigations of the normal intervertebral space are given, and criteria allowing for the identification of normal anatomical variations are also provided
