Feasibility and Efficacy of the Segmental Localization of Lumbar Vertebrae by Ultrasound vs X-ray Examination: A Prospective Comparative Study

Objectives: To explore the feasibility and efficacy of the segmental localization of lumbar vertebrae by ultrasound (US) compared with X-ray. Methods: From February 2019 to May 2019, 43 patients (24 males and 19 females), with an average age of 46±15 years, were prospectively enrolled in...

Methods: From February 2019 to May 2019, 43 patients (24 males and 19 females), with an average age of 46±15 years, were prospectively enrolled in this study. Longitudinal paramedian sagittal and transverse process sections were used to determine the lumbar segments by US scan. X-ray examination was used to verify the segmentation. The time for segmentation was recorded, and the learning curve of the average localization time was analyzed. Results: Of all the enrolled patients, 5 had lumbar segmental and alignment abnormalities, and 38 had normal lumbar vertebrae. US accurately located vertebrae in 38 normal cases and 5 abnormal cases, with a 100% accuracy rate, as verified by X-ray examination. The localization time was significantly less for US than for X-ray examination, both in normal cases and in cases with segmental or alignment abnormalities (all P < 0.001). The learning curve of US-guided segmental localization continuously decreased with an increasing number of operations and entered the plateau stage after the third operation day. Conclusions: The US-guided segmental localization of lumbar vertebrae is an accurate new method that is efficient and easy to learn and does not require radiation.Bo Yu, MD, Peng Huang, MD, Yukun Luo, MD, Mingbo Zhang, MDEditorial Office of Advanced Ultrasound in Diagnosis and Therapyarticle|ultrasound|guidance|lumbar|vertebrae|localization|x-ray|radiationMedical technologyR855-855.5MedicineRENAdvanced Ultrasound in Diagnosis and Therapy, Vol 5, Iss 3, Pp 212-218 (2021)
