Abstract: The invention relates to a device for examination of a pressure (p) in an intervertebral disc, a body of vertebra or any other part of a disc in a human or animal. The device (1) comprises a hollow cannula (6) with an end portion (7) arranged to be inserted into the intervertebral disc, the body of vertebra or any other part of the disc. The device further comprises an optical fiber (8) arranged in the cannula (6) and a sensor device (10) arranged on the optical fiber (8), which in use is positioned in connection to the intervertebral disc, the body of vertebra or any other part of the disc. The device also has an injection device (11) for injection of liquid into the intervertebral disc, the body of vertebra or any other part of the disc through the cannula (6) while the sensor device (10) measures the physical magnitude (p) in the anatomical organ (2).

Abstract: A compressible footplate for a device for complementary examination of the lumbar region at computer tomography and magnetic resonance tomography, whereby it comprises a resting plane being part of a patient table, a footsupport being arranged to the resting plane comprising at least one compressible footplate. The compressible footplate comprises a footplate, a compressible means, an indication means and a holder-on, preferable in the form of an outer house.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for use in medical procedures for imaging a patient's lumbar spine while in a supine position by computerized tomography and magnetic resonance tomography, comprising a garment-like structure such as waistcoat substantially surrounding a portion of the body of a patient, a foot plate having pressure sensors and being attached to a substantially stationary surface, a pulling cord attached to said waistcoat and said foot plate as well as a transmission attached to said pulling cord and said foot plate for exerting a pressure on the spine.
