The role of contrastenhanced MRI and advanced MR techniques (e.g., high field MRI, functional MRI and MR spectroscopy) was also discussed. To establish an appropriate treatment for DDS, it is important to emphasize in the MRI report specific changes, which might be the cause...
Moreover, MRI can identify structural lesions, such as sclerosis, squaring, erosion, spine syndesmophytes/joint space width [55]. However, whole spine MRI adds limited value to SIJ MRI in SpA, when performed for disease activity assessment [56, 57]. Finally, MRI entails high costs, is ...
Not to mention crimping the phone between my neck and shoulder when I talked with clients. An MRI showed that I had three herniated discs in my cervical spine. Image via utah.gov [Public Domain] A Different Diagnosis: Cervical Radiculopathy When my family doctor read the clinical report of ...
Stunning advances in gene research and data mining will predict diseases and devise treatments tailored to each of us.
Professor Ward and Dr Fuggle would like to thank Elsevier publishing for their permission to use Table 1 and acknowledge that a substantial proportion of this chapter was taken from a review article entitled ‘Fracture Prediction, Imaging and Screening’ co-authored by Nicholas Fuggle, Elizabeth Curt...
Modern researchers, however, have advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to glimpse the real-time interworking of the human body. Furthermore, brain-mapping technology continues to illuminate what's going on in the human mind. To return to the equation analogy, this means knowing exactly what...
Contribution of an artificial intelligence deep-learning reconstruction algorithm for dose optimization in lumbar spine CT examination: A phantom study 2023, Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging Citation Excerpt : Readers were blinded to the dose, to the algorithm and to the AI-DLR level. They were ...
This review aims to bring to light an aspect about neuroplasticity that is often not given enough attention as it should, the fact that the brain’s ability to change would include its ability to disconnect synapses. So, neuronal shrinkage, decrease in spine density or dendritic complexity ...
Cerebrospinal fluid is the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, contained by a connective tissue sheath called the dura mater. Latin for “tough mother,” the dura mater has a critical job: it keeps the CSF within its borders to cushion and protect the brain and spine. ...
like SPECT and PET, nowadays almost always in combination with CT or MRI, are the starting point of many robotic surgery procedures. They serve as means to select patients, plan entry paths, trocar placement, and then even, in some cases, guide the surgeon grossly to the area of the targe...
