The time between MRI taken and surgery was two weeks, from which the data were taken in a questioner forma which include name , age ,gender , occupation , chief complaint , duration, MRI findings and intra operative finding , from June 2011 to October 2013 at Al- Kindy teaching hospital .Results: In our study 75 patients were diagnosed by clinical examination and MRI finding to have disc herniation at lumbar region . The female more than male( 36 females , 12 males) and the ratio was 5-1, the accuracy of MRI against intra operative finding in deciding the provisional diagnosis as disc herniation was 68% .The commonest site was L4-5 disc herniation 43 patients (57.3 % ) , and L5-S1 prolapse is the next common disc herniation level 27 patient (36 % ) , L3-L4 disc herniation was two cases (2.7 %) and L4-L5 ,L5-S1 disc herniation was 3 cases (4% ).Conclusion: The most common level was L4-5 followed by L5S1.The MRI is more accurate in diagnosis of the lumbo-sacral disc herniation and its level in single one is more than multiple levels.Keywords: Disc herniation, MRI, Surgery, posterior approachAl

MR Brain Image Segmentation Using Spatial Fuzzy C- Means Clustering Algorithm
...Show More Authors

conventional FCM algorithm does not fully utilize the spatial information in the image. In this research, we use a FCM algorithm that incorporates spatial information into the membership function for clustering. The spatial function is the summation of the membership functions in the neighborhood of each pixel under consideration. The advantages of the method are that it is less
sensitive to noise than other techniques, and it yields regions more homogeneous than those of other methods. This technique is a powerful method for noisy image segmentation.
