Objective: Ultrasonographic evaluation of the anatomy of the intervertebral discs, vertebral canal of the cervical spine in practically healthy adolescents.
Materials and methods: The study included 72 healthy children with normal neurologic status, 35 of them aged 13-15 years, 37-16-18 years old. Ultrasonography (USG) was performed at the level of disks C2-C3, C3-C4, C4-C5, C5-C6, C6-C7, C7-âh1 in longitudinal and transverse projections. In the longitudinal projection, the height of the intervertebral discs (IVD) and vertebral bodies (V), their ratio (IVD/V), and in the transverse projection - the sagittal size of the IVD, the spinal canal (SC), their sagittal size ratio IVD/SC, the width of spinal nerve canals (NC), the yellow ligament thickness, the sagittal size of the anterior dural space (ADS), their ratio of the ..
