Morphometric analysis of cervical vertebrae with multidetector computerized tomography

Abstract

Aim: We aimed to present some morphometric values of the cervical vertebra in our study.Materials and Methods: The study was performed on 100 individuals (50 females-50 males) aged between 20 and 80 years withmultidetector computed tomography and cervical vertebrae. Parameters are measured and recorded in our work; sagittal diameterof foramen vertebra, transverse diameter of foramen vertebra, sagittal diameter of corpus vertebra, transverse diameter of corpusvertebra and corpus vertebra height.Findings: We investigated whether there was a statistically significant difference between men and women. Sagittal diameter ofcorpus vertebra and transverse diameter of corpus vertebra values were significantly higher in all cervical vertebrae than in females(p
