Abstract

Background: Knowledge of the lumbar SPINAL CANAL diameters in different age groups and gender; in our community; is a useful and important parameter; which help to diagnose the abnormal cases. Ultrasound for this purpose is a noninvasive, simple, reliable and safe method. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound measurement of lumber SPINAL CANAL diameters in different age groups in comparison with MRI. Method: This was a case series study on 100 patients (45 females and 55 males); during a one year period. The cases were selected from the patients who were referred for lumber MRI to one of the teaching hospitals. Results: The mean sagital and coronal diameters of neural canal at L4-L5 disc space level with ultrasound were 11.7±2 and 15.9±2, and MRI values were 11.9±2 and 16.3±2 millimeters respectively. The mean sagital and coronal diamteres at L5-S1 level with ultrasound were 11.7±2 and 16.1±2 and with MRI were 12±2 and 16.7±2 respectively. The procedure was more reliable in thinner patients. Conclusions: Sonographic evaluation and measurement of the SPINAL CANAL is possible, and the diameters by ultrasound are about 1-2 millimeters less than the measurements done by MRI with 90-95 percent accuracy.
