Abstract

AMAÇ: Lumbosakral transizyonel vertebra tanısında tüm vertebranın taranması ve C2 düzeyinden başlayarak inferiora doğru sayım altın standarttır. Bu çalışmadaki amacımız daha düşük doz radyasyon maruziyeti ile posterior anterior akciğer grafi (PA AC) ve direkt üriner sistem grafiler (DÜSG) birlikte değerlendirmesinin lumbosakral transizyonel vertebra (LSTV)tanısında kullanımını değerlendirmektir.
MATERYAL & METOD :İki radyolog tarafından 327 hastanın PA AC ve DÜSG’ini birlikte değerlendirildi.Her iki grafi birlikte LSTV açısından değerlendirildi. Daha sonra 327 hastanın skolyoz grafileri LSTV açısından değerlendirildi.
SONUÇLAR: DÜSG’nin LSTV teşhisinde tanısal doğruluğunu 120 deneğin 117'sinde gerçek pozitif, 3 kişide yanlış negatif sonuç tespit edildi. 207 kişiden 163'ünü gerçek negatif ve kalan 44 vaka yanlış pozitif olarak tespit edildi. DÜSG ve PA AC grafi birlikte değerlendirildiğinde 120 vakanın 119’unda doğru pozitif ve 1 vakada yanlış negatif sonuç elde edilmişti.167 vakayı doğru negatif ve 40 vaka yanlış pozitif olarak değerlendirildi.
SONUÇ: Herhangi bir yanıltıcı bilgi uygunsuz cerrahi veya invaziv prosedüre yol açabileceğinden, LSTV'nin doğru teşhisi son derece önemlidir. PA AC ve DÜSG'nin birlikte yorumlanmasının duyarlılığı % 97,6 ve özgüllüğü % 80,6 olarak bulunmuştur.

Abstract

AİM: Full vertebral scanning and counting from C2 inferiorly is the gold standard for the lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) diagnosis. We aimed to investigate the use of a posteroanterior chest radiograph (CRXPA) and direct urinary system graph (DUSG) combination, which would provide lower dose radiation exposure in LSTV diagnosis.
MATERIALS & METHOD: CRX PA and DUSG of 327 patients were examined by 2 radiologists. Both of the x-ray graphs have been interpreted by the radiologist to detect existing LSTV. Scoliosis graphs were conducted of all 327 patients to detect LSTV
RESULTS: The performance accuracy of DUSG for the diagnosis of LSTV, we have observed that it provided true positive results in 117 of the 120 subjects and false-negative in 3 subjects. It could detect 163 of the 207 subjects as true negative and the remaining 44 individuals as false positive. When we have evaluated the diagnostic performance of DUSG and CRX PA together we have observed that it provided true positive results in 119 of the 120 subjects and false-negative in 1 subject. It could detect 167 of the 207 subjects as true negative and the remaining 40 individuals as false positive.
CONCLUSION: The accurate diagnosis of LSTV is highly important as any misleading information can lead to inappropriate surgery or invasive procedure. The sensitivity of interpretation of CRX PA and DUSG together has been found as 97.6% and the specificity as 80.6%.
