Measurement of maximal spinal canal stenosis (%) and the space available for the spinal cord (SAC) were calculated on the basis of axial computed tomography. Ossified mass diameter (A) and developmental canal diameter (B). Spinal canal stenosis (%)=A/B×100. SAC=B-A, is calculated by subtracting the axial diameter of the ossified mass from developmental canal diameter.
