Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive review of spine segmentation and enumeration. This important and relatively underappreciated issue, when neglected, frequently results in confusion in vertebral numbering and ultimately may result in wrong segment interventions. The authors supplement this topic with a discussion of normal variants.
