The purpose of this exhibit 1. Review the basic anatomical of the paraspinal musculature. 2. Describe and illustrate landmark that aid during the interpretation of MRI spine. 3. Describe and illustrate pathology in the paraspinal musculature.  

1. Define anatomical landmarks useful in the interpretation of the MRI spine. 2. Examine normal anatomy of the paraspinal muscles. I. Deep Muscles and fascia of the neck. II. Fascies and muscles of the trunk. III. Deep muscles and fascia of the Back. IV. Normal Anatomy - Cervical Spine. - Thoracic Spine. - Lumbosacral Spine. V. Relationship with compartment to the chest, retroperitoneum and musculoskeletal system. 3. Ilustrates the utility of CT and MRI in detecting pathology of the paraspinal musculature. I. Neoplastic disease. II. Infection. III. Trauma. IV. Miscellaneous Pathology.
