Radiological measurements with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). (A-C) Sagittal to transverse diameter ratio decrease is compared with the ratio of the superior and inferior normal vertebrae; (D-F) the canal area decrease can be calculated by the following formula, where A is the canal area at the normal superior vertebral body, B is the canal area at the fractured vertebral body, and C is the canal area normal inferior vertebral body: $\%canalareadecrease=\frac{\left(\frac{(A+C)}{2}-B\right)}{\frac{(A+C)}{2}}\times 100$.
