The vascular territory of the vertebral arch. (a) Enhanced CT showed that the right segmental artery-posterior branch-posterior branch of vertebral canal supplied blood posteriorly to the vertebral plate, spinal process, and ligamentum flavum (black arrow). (b) Enhanced CT showed that the bilateral segmental artery-dorsal branch-superior articular branch, inferior articular branch, and interarticular branch supplied blood to the superior and inferior articular processes, isthmus of pedicle, and pedicle. Bilateral segmental artery-transverse branch-transverse process anterior artery supplied blood to transverse process (red arrow). (c) CT displayed the areas of tumors in the right pedicles, transverse processes, and articular processes (red outline). (d) CT displayed the areas of tumors in the bilateral vertebral plates and spinal processes (red outline). (e) CT displayed the areas of tumors in the right vertebral body, pedicle, transverse process, joint process, and vertebral plate (red outline)
