Conus Medullaris Position in an Adult Population: Analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The objective of this study was to evaluate the variation in position of the conus medullaris (CM) in male and female patients without spinal deformity, to correlate the termination level in magnetic resonance (MR) images of the lumbar spine. 921 patients consisted of 607 men and 314 women were eval...
