Evaluation of Lumber Canal Diameter using Computed Tomography

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the lumber canal diameter using computed tomography in Khartoum state in period from march to October 2018. The data were collected from Yastabshiroon medical center using CT machine model GE optima 16 slice. The scan parameter 5mm slice ,120 kv, 200 mA. The results presented in statistical parameters as mean, median, stander deviation , minimum and maximum. Were the mean ± standard deviation for age was 44.71±15.38, for Mid-sagittal of body, Transverse of body, Mid-sagittal of canal and Transverse of canal was 29.89 ± 3.84, 40.05 ± 3.89, 15.21 ± 2.31 and 22.56 ± 2.84 respectively. using linear regression equation showed that the correlate with age and Mid-sagittal of body showed the mid-sagittal of body increase with the age by rate 0.0931 for each year. correlate between age and transverse of body showed the transverse of body increase with the age by rate 0.1137 for each year. correlate between age and mid-sagittal of canal showed the mid-sagittal of body decrease with the age by rate 0.023 for each year. correlate between age and transverse of canal showed the transverse of canal increase with the age by rate 0.0242 for each year.
