Visualization of Neural Activity in the Upper and Middle Lumbar Spine Using Magnetospinography After Lateral Femoral Cutaneous, Saphenous, and Femoral Nerve Stimulation
Using a new stimulation method, magnetospinography enabled the noninvasive visualization of neural currents in the upper and middle lumbar spine. Femoral nerve stimulation is suitable for evaluating the spinal canal of the upper lumbar spine, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and saphenous nerve stimulations are suitable for evaluating the upper and middle lumbar intervertebral foramina, respectively.
