title: Method of determining topometric values of some structures of the human spinal cord.
abstract: A method of measuring the cross-section areas of some structures of the human spinal cord is described for the purpose of obtaining the coordinate values by means of simultaneously photographing the transverse section of the spinal cord, together with a microscopic objective square raster. The obtained coordinate values have been processed by means of a computer and represent the statistical model map of some structures of the human spinal cord. By means of the present method, the classic anatomical and topometrical figure of the spinal cord is converted to a coordinate system that may be defined mathematically.
