Abstract

Objective: Fatty infiltration of paraspinal muscle is associated with spinal disorders. It can be assessed qualitatively (i.e., Goutallier classification) and quantitatively using image processing software. The aims of this study were to compare paraspinal muscle fatty infiltration as assessed using the Goutallier classification vs. quantitative magnetic resonance images (MRI) measurements and to investigate the association between anthropometric parameters and paraspinal muscle morphology and fatty infiltration in patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).Methods: Patients affect
