Wilson Garrett Great experience at Washington Open MRI. They were right on schedule, polite, and efficient. Had a Brain MRI with contrast and got in and out in less than 45 minutes. Also a great option for anyone who is claustrophobic. MRI was done seated with nothing directly in front of...
The cost of such a power amp is second only to the cost magnet in the expense of building an MRI machine. The expensive cabling is type-rg214 or rg400 cables from the combined output of multiple power amplifiers and the distributed to multiple antennas. In contrast, the present invention ...
Within one day, the lumbar spine (L1-S1) of each patient was examined in the following consecutive order: 1.5T MRI using clinically conventional protocols, including sagittal and axial T1-weighted and T2-weighted imaging, followed by low-pressure discography (<50 psi) and lastly CT (Table 1)...
The boundaries of each tumor were identified by means of contrast-enhanced CT scan and MR T1 and DWI sequences. The average of the three measurements was accepted as the final ADC value of the segment. All ADC values were measured directly from the ADC map data on an independent work...
To our knowledge, no other review has exclusively investigated the role of radiomics in the analysis and prediction of bone metastases, particularly the spine localization. Even within the field of radiomics, this is a niche subfield, as is evident from the low number of studies analyzed. This ...
Serum sclerostin had moderate positive correlation with BMD at lumbar spine (r = 0.54, p < 0.001) (Figure 1C) and femoral neck (r = 0.40, p < 0.01) (Figure 1D), suggesting that greater BMD is associated with greater serum sclerostin. Furthermore, serum sclerostin was lower in patients ...
The cranio-vertebral junction (CVJ) has a unique and distinct anatomy from the subaxial cervical spine. The CVJ is composed of the atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial joints, strengthened by multiple ligamentous attachments and muscles to provide stability and support. In contrast to the atlanto...
