Correct Application Of MRI: helps find causes of lower back pain The main challenge for clinicians is to distinguish serious spinal pathology from nonspecificIt is generally believed that most cases of low back pain are benign and self-limiting. The real challenge for the clinician is to ...
Objective:To evaluate the value of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) in the assessment of the neovascularization of the degenerative intervertebral disc in patients with lower back pain. Materials and Methods:Fifty-...
The robot is designed with a compact and lightweight profile that can be mounted directly on the patient’s lower back via straps, thus minimizing the effect of patient motion by moving along with the patient. The robot was built with MR-conditional materials and actuated with piezoelectric ...
(5) While the signals of MRI-T1WI, T2WI and signal difference between MR-T2WI and FS-T2WI of patients under 60 years old were significantly lower than that of patients over 60 years old (P < 0.05), and increased with age increased. (6) There were no significant differences in the ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often used in the evaluation of lower back pain in adolescents. The purpose of our study is to report on the frequency of MRI missing spondylolysis in adolescents with back pain in a pediatric orthopaedic practice.A retrospective review of all patients with a...
A recent postgraduate education release1 is entitled:n'MRI Before Epidural Injection Not Beneficial innBack Pain' referring to a recent study comparing treatmentndecisions with and without magnetic resonancenimaging (MRI) results.2 But, there should be annaddendum: 'in Certain Circumstances.'

Lower back pain (LBP) is widely prevalent all over the world and more than 80% of the people suffer from LBP at some point of their lives. Moreover, a shortage of radiologists is the most pressing cause for the need of CAD (computer-aided diagnosis) systems. Automatic localization and la...
severe or progressive neurological deficits or when serious underlying conditions such as osteomyelitis are suspected. Imaging of the lower spine before six weeks does not improve outcomes, but does increase costs. Low back pain is the fifth most common reason for all physician visits. The North Am...
