Abstract:Objectives: The intervertebral disk has traditionally been imaged by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, advances in sonography mean it can now be visualized with this modality. The objectives of this human cadaveric study were to visualize the internal structure of the lumbar intervertebral disks and map any defects. Shear wave sonography was explored as a method for assessing the disks. Materials and Methods: In a human cadaver, L4-L5 and L5-S1 disks were imaged with sonography through the anterior ab… Show more
