Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to describe and verify a technique for visualizing the L5 pars interarticularis (L5PI) using diagnostic ultrasound (DUS) on a healthy 10-year-old boy.
- The methodology involved scanning the L5/S1 region with a linear array transducer and confirming the L5PI's identification through comparisons with spine models and imaging a subject known to have spondylolysis.
- Results indicated that the ultrasound images matched the models with a metal paperclip placed over L5PI, and spondylolysis showed a distinct defect at this site, establishing the DUS technique as effective for diagnosing L5PI.
