The Role of Sonographic Examination of the Inferior Vena Cava in the Diagnosis of Pseudoclaudication in Patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Journal Title: Біль. Суглоби. Хребет - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 23
Abstract
In 63 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, it was defined the relationship of sonographic parameters of the inferior vena cava and pseudoclaudication. Evaluated fluctuating data of volumetric blood flow rate driven by provocation test in patients with pseudoclaudication showed the average value of the sensitivity of this method (0.64), but overdiagnosis rate reaches significant levels (0.71) that requires additional verification tests to confirm a causal relationships.

Evaluating spine micro-architectural texture (via TBS) discriminates major osteoporotic fractures from controls both as well as and independent of site matched BMD: the Eastern European TBS study
The aim of the study was to assess the clinical performance of the model combining areal bone mineral density (aBMD) at spine and microarchitecural texture (TBS) for the detection of the osteoporotic fracture. The East...
