Description
Summary:[...]cytoreductive surgery prior to treatment may be of value. To better understand the volumetric expansion on bone growth in ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), the authors used serial thin-slice computed tomography (CT) imaging to develop 3D models of five patients that were sequentially followed. [...]certain regions of the cervical spine may be difficult to visualize (especially the low subaxial cervical spine).The use of the author's novel 3D imaging technique allows for a more precise and useful understanding of disease progression in a disease that commonly presents many surgical challenges.
