Three-dimensional reconstructions of CT images demonstrating the anatomy of murine lumbar spine (left) vs human lumbar spine (right). (A) Anterior vertebral body. (B) Transverse process. (C) Inferior articular process. The position and orientation of the transverse process of the mouse spine differs significantly from the human spine. Both the murine inferior articular process and the human transverse process share a lateral orientation.
