Objective To measure and analyze the anatomical data of magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) of lower lumbar Kambin triangle working area in normal adults, so as to provide reference for the selection and safety evaluation of minimally invasive surgery of lower lumbar spine. Methods Twenty healthy adult volunteers (male: 10, female: 10) were performed magnetic resonance imaging scan at L4~S1 segment with 3.0 T MRN. The neuroimaging was performed by OsiriX software. The following data were measured: the distance between ganglion and superior pedicle (A), the distance between ganglion and lower pedicle (B), and the angle between nerve root and dural sac (α), area of Kambin triangle (S). Finally, the measured data were statistically analyzed. Results From L4 to S1 segment, the distance between ipsilateral ganglion and superior pedicle decreased gradually (P<0.05). But there was no statistical difference between ipsilateral ganglion and lower pedicle (P>0.05). From L4 to S1, the angle between ipsilateral outlet nerve root and dural sac gradually decreased, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). From L4 to S1, the area of Kambin triangle increased gradually (P<0.05). In addition, there was no statistical difference between the left and right sides of the same segment (P>0.05). Conclusions MRN technology can clearly and accurately visualize the anatomical relationship of the Kambin triangle structures of the lower lumbar spine, which is helpful to measure the relevant anatomical data and can guide the selection of minimally invasive surgical methods and the evaluation of surgical safety.
