New classification system for ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament using CT images
2014
Background
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is most frequently seen in the cervical spine. The types of cervical OPLL are classified into continuous, mixed, segmental, and other based on plain lateral X-ray. Computed tomography (CT) imaging is often used in clinical practice for evaluating ossified lesions as it can detect their precise location, size, and shape. However, to date, no CT classification of OPLL lesions has been proposed.
