Synergistic predictive value of MRI-based vertebral bone quality and CT hounsfield units for postoperative sagittal balance deterioration after cervical laminoplasty
Decreased HU and elevated VBQ independently predict postoperative sagittal balance deterioration, reflecting complementary aspects of vertebral bone quality. The combined MRI- and CT-based assessment improves prediction accuracy and assists in preoperative risk stratification and individualized surgical planning.
