Scotty dog sign – refers to the normal appearance of the lumbar spine posterior elements when seen on oblique views:

- the pedicle forming the eye
- the inferior articular facet being the front leg
- the superior articular facet representing the ear
- the pars interarticularis (the lamina between the facets) equivalent to the neck.
