About This File
This spine segment was segmented using 3DSlicer from a reconstructed CT scan without an IV contrast agent and a slice thickness=3.75mm. The spine segment is from vertebrae T11 to L3. The CT is from an 80 year old female, 62 inches tall and 135 pounds. The model is full size. Two years prior to the CT scan the patient had compression fractures at L1 and T12. The kyphoplasty procedure was performed to repair the two compression fractures. This model shows the growth of bone spurs at T12 and L1 after two years.
