Clinical Trial: How Reliable Are Routine Radiological Imaging Methods in Diagnosing Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebrae and Identifying the Pathological Disc Level?

U.S., Dec. 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07256366) titled 'How Reliable Are Routine Radiological Imaging Methods in Diagnosing Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebrae and Identifying the Pathological Disc Level?' on Nov. 20.

Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate how accurately transitional vertebrae can be identified using routinely employed clinical imaging methods, including thoracolumbar direct radiography and lumbar MRI with axial and sagittal sequences. The study also seeks to determine how anatomical markers commonly used in the literature for vertebral level identification correspond to vertebral levels in the Turkish population, and whether a new potential relationship betwe...
