arXiv:2609.22760v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Purpose: A vertebra at the lumbosacral junction is named by counting caudally from C2 on whole-spine imaging, but a lumbar case is planned on lumbar-only imaging (T12 to S1), without C2. Abdominopelvic CT holds that span plus the lowest ribs and pelvis. Where a lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) alters the count, the local anatomy is ambiguous: four rib-free vertebrae may be an L1 with a lumbar rib or an L5 assimilated to the sacrum, and six may be a sixth lumbar vertebra, a T12 with aplastic ribs, or a lumbarized S1. CTSpinoPelvic1K asks whether local morphology resolves it without the count. CTSpine1K's vertebrae and CTPelvic1K's pelvis
