Figures
- Figure 1
Three-dimensional reconstructed computed tomography imaging (A) of whole spine of 18-year-old female patient with 11 thoracic vertebrae.
- Figure 2
Posteroanterior and lateral whole spine x-ray of 18-year-old female patient with 11 thoracic vertebrae.
- Figure 3
Three-dimensional reconstructed computed tomography imaging of 16-year-old female adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patient having 4 lumbar vertebrae.
- Figure 4
Posteroanterior and lateral whole spine radiograph of 16-year-old female adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patient having 4 lumbar vertebrae. Note the presence of a hypoplastic rib at D12; this was counted as a thoracic vertebra.
- Figure 5
Posteroanterior radiograph of a 13-year-old patient with 6 lumbar vertebrae.
- Figure 6
Three-dimensional reconstructed computed tomography imaging of a patient with 6 lumbar vertebrae.
- Figure 7
Three-dimensional reconstructed computed tomography imaging of a 13-year-old patient with a left-sided lumbosacral transitional vertebra.
- Figure 8
Three-dimensional reconstructed computed tomography imaging of a patient with both left-sided lumbosacral transitional vertebra and 6 lumbar vertebrae.
- Figure 9
(A) Preoperative posteroanterior radiograph of a 15-year-old female with a Lenke Type 5 curve with 4 lumbar vertebrae. However, in counting cephalad from L5, the surgeon has erroneously marked the D12 vertebra as L1 during preoperative planning. (B) Postoperative radiograph of the patient shown in (A). The fusion levels in the operation notes have been wrongly labeled as D12 to L4, when in fact, by conventional counting, the fusion levels would be D11 to L3.
- Figure 10
Example of a “stitched” view of whole spine. A left-sided lumbosacral transitional vertebra can also be seen.
