Preoperative MRI Reliably Predicts Pedicle Dimensions on Intraoperative CT Images in Structural Main Thoracic Curves in Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Conclusion.
Pedicle measurements made on pMRI may be used with reasonable reliability to predict pedicle dimensions visualized on iCT, allowing surgeons to preoperatively plan pedicle screw sizes based off magnetic resonance imaging.
