Standard x-ray films andCTremain the imaging modalities of choice for visualizing spondylolysis. However, parasagittalMRIdoes help to reveal a defect of the pars, which appears as a decrease in signal intensity perpendicular to the plane of the articular facets on these images (Grenier et al., ...
Localized back pain with no radiculopathy (leg pain) Contrast enhanced MRItechniques delineate infections vs. malignancies, show a syrinx cavity and support to differentiate the postoperative conditions. After surgery for disk disease, significant fibrosis can occur in the spine. This scarring can mimic...
In a recent study21, a longer duration of type 2 diabetes was suggested to be a risk factor for lumbar disc degeneration, as shown by a cross-sectional study using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a result which is in line with our findings. Because diabetic complication is highly related...
indicated. Then, an MRI may be helpful for the surgeon. If surgery is not indicated based on clinical/symptoms, then it probably is unwise to get an MRI. They often show abnormalities that are simply 'red herrings' and often prompt people to proceed with surgery that really is not needed...
X-rays, CT and MRI were routine preoperative investigations. The optimal approach was based on the preoperative imaging of the patients. For patients with central or paracentral LDH, the interlaminar approach was adopted; for patients with extreme lateral, posterolateral, or foraminal LDH, the trans...
To advance the development of segmentation algorithms, and ultimately automatic image analysis, for lumbar spine MRI, this study has three primary goals: 1. To present a large multi-center lumbar spine MR dataset with reference segmentations of vertebrae, IVDs and spinal canal combined with per-...
Multi-region segmentation by axial lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important for the diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and lumbar disc herniation (LDH) disease. Deep learning-based methods have been widely used in this field, but the segmentation task is still challenging due ...
