## Abstract A fully threeβdimensional finite element model of a C5βC6 motion segment of the human spine was developed and validated for the purpose of investigating the biomechanical significance of uncinate processes and Luschka joints. The original intact cervical model was modified to create two
Objective. To noninvasively examine the pathogenesis of rat adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to correlate MRI indices of disease progression with classic inflammatory parameters and histologic evaluation. Methods. AIA was established in male Lewis rats follo
