The authors determined current health status of patients who had been included in a long-term
survivorship analysis of a lumbar dynamic stabilizer. Among 133 living patients, 107 (…

Compressed sensing (CS) holds considerable promise to accelerate the data acquisition in
magnetic resonance imaging by exploiting signal sparsity. Prior knowledge about the signal …

The authors report their experience concerning complications of spinal metastasis surgery.
The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of such complications and analyse the …

Results Five women and ten men were involved ranging in age from 47 to 70 years (average,
59.5 years). The primary intervention concerned the cervical spine in one case, the …

In 1986, an interspinous dynamic stabilization system (the prototype of the current Wallis
implant) was designed to stiffen unstable operated degenerate lumbar segments with a hard …

Prostate T 2 mapping was performed in 34 consecutive patients using an accelerated multiecho
spin‐echo sequence with 4‐fold k‐space undersampling leading to a net acceleration …

Cervical spine trauma occurs frequently in front-line rugby players. To evaluate the accumulative
effects of this trauma, magnetic resonance imaging scans of the cervical spine were …

Study Design. A combined in vitro and finite-element analysis was completed to assess the
biomechanical effect of a new interspinous implant on the lumbar spine. Objective. The aim …

Study Design. A technical report concerning the methods of reduction of dislocations of the
lower cervical spine used in 168 consecutive cases (77 unilateral and 91 bilateral …

A first-generation implant for non-rigid stabilization of lumbar segments was developed in
1986. It included a titanium interspinous blocker and an artificial ligament made of dacron. …
