The spine runs from the base of your skull down the length of your back, going all the way down to your pelvis. It is composed of 33 spool-shaped bones called vertebrae, each about an inch thick and ...

We then change the basal medium for an induction medium that will trigger the aggregates to differentiate into presomitic mesoderm, and then we coat the oval-shaped aggregates in ... a skeletal ...

“For adults, spine surgery is mostly about removing pain. For children it’s not always about pain, it’s about an issue that can be with them for their entire lives.” The S-shaped curves ...

When viewed from the side, a healthy spine has a slight S-shaped curve. This curve allows for an even distribution of weight and flexibility of movement. Sometimes this natural curvature is not ...

Is your back aching from long gaming sessions? Check out our list of the best lumbar pillows that provide much-needed back ...

In particular, using a statistical shape model for spines would help us reduce processing time and improve results for 3D representation in Slicer or other visualization programs [1]. The most likely ...

We propose an automated general framework to estimate the 3D spine shape from 2D DXA scans. We achieve this by predicting the coronal view (centerline and lateral curves) as well as sagittal view ...

This study investigates if: (1) ASCC can be automatically diagnosed using spinal cord shape analysis; (2) multiparametric quantitative MRI can detect similar spinal cord tissue injury as previously ...
