“…Live condition of soft tissues in lateral intervertebral foramina was assessed on a MRI scanner Flexart (Toshiba, Japan). Preliminary anatomical preparation of soft tissue structures in intervertebral foramina, in particular, in intraforaminal ligaments, was performed in an experimental part of the study to master the modes of magnetic fields, view directions, and section thickness [3]. Further, the ligaments in the area of lateral foramina of intervertebral canals were searched for in patients with degenerative and dystrophic diseases of cervical spine and radicular syndrome.…”
