Accuracy of Conventional Radiography and Computed Tomography in Predicting Implant Position in Relation to the Vertebral Canal in Dogs

Objective: To compare the accuracy of radiography and computed tomography (CT) in predicting implant position in relation to the vertebral canal in the cervical and thoracolumbar vertebral column. Study Design: In vitro imaging and anatomic study. Animals: Medium-sized canine cadaver vertebral columns (n=12). Methods: Steinmann pins were inserted into cervical and thoracolumbar vertebrae based on established landmarks but without...
