Fig. 13. Paramedian sagittal oblique view of the midthoracic spine and corresponding magnetic resonance imaging scan (T1-weighted). Despite the narrow interlaminar space, it is possible to visualize the posterior and anterior complex at one or more levels. At a minimum, the location of the interlaminar space can be determined by the dip or gap between successive laminae (L). Note that the spinal cord is hypoechoic and is not distinct from the surrounding cerebrospinal fluid. (Image used with permission from www.usra.ca.).
