Indications: • Neurological deficit, evidence of radiculopathy, cauda equina compression • Primary tumors or drop metastases • Infection/inflammatory disease, multiple sclerosis • Postoperative evaluation oflumbarspine: disk vs. scar •
In the spine, MRI with contrast is widely used to study spinal tumors. The size and properties of the tumor are revealed through these contrast scans and help physicianstreating spinal tumorsplan the next treatment steps.7Meng, Xiao-xi; Zhang, Yong-qiu; Liao, Hua-qiang; Liu, Hong-chao; J...
Aetna considers MRI and CT of the spine experimental, investigational, or unproven for all other indications because their clinical value for indications other than the ones listed above has not been established. Clinical guidelines, including those from the Agency for Healthcare Policy and Research, ...
The aim of this prospective study was to investigate how the use of a new advanced deep learning-based image reconstruction algorithm (ADLR) would affect image quality and image acquisition time of 0.55 T low-field MRI of the lumbar spine. Compared with an existing conventional deep learning...
Conservative treatment was the first choice for all patients, in case of surgical indications during the treatment, percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy or fenestration discectomy will be performed. Enhanced MRI was performed at the first and last inspections, the volume of the protrusion, the ...

Spine trauma and spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Multidetector computed tomography (CT) is the ideal imaging modality for the initial evaluation of spine trauma, although does not allow for direct visualiza

Myelographic sequences result in MR images with high contrast that are similar in appearance to conventional myelograms. Additionally, open MRI studies provide the possibility of weight-bearing MRI scan to evaluate structural positional and kinetic changes of the cervical spine. Indications of cervical...
