A CT-based radiographic analysis of parameters of congenital lumbar neuroforaminal stenosis
This study reports measurements of LNFD via CT of 1,000 patients to establish quantitative thresholds for diagnosis of neuroforaminal stenosis. Patient sex, race, and ethnicity highlighted significant findings per vertebral level, but not irrespective of vertebral level. These findings may help solidify anatomic thresholds of foraminal stenosis via radiographic imaging and establish the foundation for future research on the diagnosis of lumbar neuroforaminal stenosis.
