N2 - Geometrical dimensions of the lumbar segments were determined from a series of lateral radiographs. A two-dimensional model of the lumbar vertebra in the sagittal plane is used. The model is based on five landmarks, which enable the determination of twelve geometrical parameters. The sample includes 157 healthy young males, 20-38 years old. Two-dimensional analysis of vertebral body height, depth and intervertebral spacing was performed. In all subjects disc height increases from L1, to L5, while anterior height is always bigger than posterior height, which emphasizes the lordotic shape of the lumbar region. Anthropometrical values are presented and geometrical relations between the lumbar segments are discussed.
