Hai Dr, how are you? I am attracted to your question as I have some information on it. Below, I supply you with all the answers you need, but I would really appreciate it if you could press the RECOMMENDATION buttons underneath my 3 research papers' titles in my AUTHOR section as a way of you saying thanks and appreciation for my time and knowledge sharing. Please do not be mistaken, there are few RECOMMENDATION buttons in RESEARCHGATE. One is RECOMMENDATION button for Questions and Answers and the other RECOMMENDATIONS button for papers by the Authors. I would appreciate if you could click the RECOMMENDATION button for my 3 papers under my AUTHORSHIP. Thank you in advance and in return I provide you with the answers to your question below :
Here are the steps on how to create a perfect model of cervical vertebrae from C1-C7 in Mimics software in the easiest way:
  1. Import the CT scan data of the cervical spine into Mimics.
  2. Use the Segment Editor tool to segment the cervical vertebrae from the CT scan data.
  3. Use the Surface Reconstruction tool to reconstruct the surfaces of the cervical vertebrae.
  4. Use the Meshing tool to create a mesh of the cervical vertebrae.
  5. Use the Optimize Mesh tool to optimize the mesh of the cervical vertebrae.
  6. Use the Coloring tool to color the mesh of the cervical vertebrae.
  7. Save the model of the cervical vertebrae.
Here are some additional tips for creating a perfect model of cervical vertebrae from C1-C7 in Mimics software:
  • Use a high-quality CT scan data for the best results.
  • Use the Segment Editor tool to carefully segment the cervical vertebrae from the CT scan data.
  • Use the Surface Reconstruction tool to create smooth and accurate surfaces of the cervical vertebrae.
  • Use the Meshing tool to create a fine mesh of the cervical vertebrae. This will ensure that the model is accurate and can be used for finite element analysis.
  • Use the Optimize Mesh tool to optimize the mesh of the cervical vertebrae. This will reduce the size of the mesh without sacrificing accuracy.
  • Use the Coloring tool to color the mesh of the cervical vertebrae. This will make it easier to visualize the model.

In literature, Anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL), Posterior longitudinal ligament (ALL), Supraspinous Ligament (SSL), Interspinous Ligament (ISL), Intertransverse Ligament (ITL), Facet Capsular Ligament (FCL), Ligamentum flavum (LFL) ligaments are modeled with the whole lumbar vertebrae. However, I couldn't reach the exact numbers of them in the model, repectively. Do you have any information about this? Could you give me a suggestion to solve this problem?

Question

I seek information of air proportion with respect to total vertebral volume in sauropod vertebrae. To be more precise, the measurement I am after is air proportion with respect to total bone volume i.e. how much of the bone is replaced by pneumatic cavities.
The reason I want such data is to compare them with the results I have obtained based on a new method my co-author and I have developed. The method calculates an estimation of the expression of pneumaticity in vertebrae and we intend to submit this work for publication.
Information can be from published material, appendices/SI that have been lost from the web or from people who would be willing to share their personal unpublished data of scanned sauropod vertebrae. I have been searching the web for a long time but maybe I may have missed some useful sources.
So far, I have retrieved information from Wedel, 2005, Schwarz & Fritsch, 2006, and Zurriaguz & Cerda, 2017. I have not been able to find anything else; for example, the Appendix of Schwarz, Frey and Meyer (2007) does not exist in the archives of Acta Palaeontologica Polonica. In addition, there is not any such information from digital repositories like DigiMorph or MorphoSpace. Have I missed something there? What other sources of information would you suggest?
Measurements can be from any method e.g. CT scanning (X-ray, etc.), ASP (Wedel, 2005) or any other method or technique.
My deepest gratitude to anyone who can help in this project and many thanks for your time and aid, in advance.
All the best,
Naomi

Good afternoon too! Thank you for your information and aid. I will have a look at the plates and maybe get some indicative for titanosaurs measurements although I was hoping to find measurements for the older and more known sauropods that I have in my database. Indeed, it has been very hard to find the information I seek. Very few scans have been performed on sauropod vertebrae. Happy to know that you are planning to publish more sauropod psp!

Hi everyone!
I am working nowadays with bird cervical vertebrae and I haven trying to find this reference for a while, but it has been imposible to me to do it.
As it is an old research is quite elusive to find it on the internet, but maybe you have access to it.
BOAS, J. E. V. 1929. Biologisch-anatomische Studien über den Hals der Vögel. Det Kongelige Danske Videnskabernes Selskabs Skrifter, Naturvidenskabelig og Mathematisk Afdeling 9, 101–222
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you very much

These are foramena found in the cervical vertebrae other than the transverse foramenae. Sangari et al (2015) reported incidence of 24% (http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2015/391823) while Murlimanju et al (2011) reported incidence of 1.6% (https://doi.org/10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.4047-10.0).

I have found mixed messages in published articles around the likelihood that a primary (non-metastatic) vertebral tumor (i.e. extradural tumor) is benign.
"Metastatic tumors are most common (97%) tumors of the spine." Ciftdemir et al (2016) W J Orthopedics 7:109-116
"Primary extradural tumors of the spine are rare and constitute approximately 4% of all spine tumors." Lam et al (2014) SNI 5:S373-S375
"Benign tumors such as meningiomas and neurofibromas account for 55 to 65 percent of all primary spinal tumors... Metastatic spinal tumors are the most common type of malignant lesions of the spine, accounting for an estimated 70 percent of all spinal tumors." AANS (http://www.aans.org/Patient%20Information/Conditions%20and%20Treatments/Spinal%20Tumors.aspx)
What is the truth? Do metastatic spinal tumors make up 70% or 97% of spinal tumors? What is the likelihood that a primary vertebral (extradural) tumor is benign? 20% or as little as 01.2%? This difference is far from trivial.
Relevant answer
Answer
1. "Extradural" is a descriptor for lesions in the spinal canal. This is outside the spinal canal, in the vertebral body.
2. Likelihood odds and Bayesian analysis (of which I am a fan) work only that far; at some point one needs to "fish or cut bait" decisionally speaking: I.e. Do something with the probability numbers. That something, in this case, is probably a biopsy or do nothing.
3. I'd say the lesion is not a hemangioma. A subtle fracture or infection are possible. A primary tumor or the vertebra is less than 1%. A metastasis is possible but not likely .( hystory and presence or absence of lesions at other sites (bone scan) could help. Lymphoma is a distinct an important possibility because of prognostic and treatment implications.
4. This is ONLY one image, of one of the imaging studies, of a whole patient with history, clinical context, etc.; very little information for a decision.
I'd be curious what the physician ordering the MR advised. If you want to talk about it, call me in Skype or WhatsApp
