A Contribution to the Topometry of the Spinal Cord

Abstract
The topometric coordinate system of gray and white matter has been determined on photographs of human spinal cord section. The x-axis in the coordinate system represents the contact line with the funiculi posteriores, while the y-axis runs through the sulcus medianus posterior, in which the initial values are 0/0. Certain structures of the gray matter and the white matter have been marked on photographs of the cervical spinal cord and segment S2. The photographs obtained may serve as model maps for spinal cord stereotaxis.
