Abcess of the Lumbar Spine - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This image series depicts MRI scans of the lumbar spine, focusing on an abscess in the L5 vertebral region. The scans include axial, parasagittal, and sagittal views, with corresponding labeled illustrations. Axial view: Shows the abscess adjacent to the L5 vertebral body, pressing on the surrounding tissues, including the spinal cord and nerves. Parasagittal view: Displays the abscess in relation to vertebrae L3 through S1, illustrating how it affects the spinal column and intervertebral spaces. Sagittal view: Highlights the abscess extending posteriorly from the L5 vertebral level, affecting adjacent vertebral bodies and soft tissue structures.
