INTERTRANSVERSE ANA TRANSFORAMINAL LIGAMENTS: ANATOMICAL BASIS FOR A RADIOLOGIST (literature review)

Abstract

Due to the absence of necessary knowledge about anatomic morphological features of ligamentous apparatus of the lumbar spine, it is often difficult to interpret the results of radiological studies of these structures. Taking into consideration the shortage of this information and its importance for diagnostic purposes, the analysis of the publications dedicated to clinical anatomy of intertransverse and transforaminal ligaments has been carried out.
