Results MR images of 70 subjects were processed using the proposed framework resulting in successful detection of disc herniation with 99% accuracy, achieving a speedup factor of 30 in comparison with radiologist's diagnosis. Conclusion The computer-aided framework works well to diagnose herniated ...
In the image below: MRI of the lower back showing degenerative disc disease. When a disc loses its water content, it will appear dark on MRI scans. This is a sign of degenerative disc disease. But what if a patient exhibits no pain? What is the call? “Overdiagnosis occurs when diagnost...

With an MRI of the lumbar spine, radiologists are able to gather detailed information regarding the vertebral bones, intervertebral discs, facet joints, ligaments, soft tissues, and nerve roots. They can use these images to detect various conditions of the spinal column such as: Herniated disc ...
Non-invasive Diagnosis: Before opting for an MRI, consider chiropractic care, extension exercises or Yoga Cobra, which can effectively treat many cases of disc herniation.

Longitudinal assessment of the lumbar spine using MRI We obtained sagittal and axial T1- and T2-weighted image sequences through each of the five lumbar intervertebral disc levels, using a Philips 1.5 Tesla MRI system. MRI scans were interpreted by one of two neuroradiologists (Jerry Jarvik, MD...

Twenty-two percent showed a positive SLR test with an angle between 41 and 70掳.#Proper correlation between clinical and MRI will help determine the lesion's level, horizontal location, herniation type, and herniated disc size in the lumbosacral region and achieve a more accurate diagnosis....
In this case, pressure on an intervertebral disc makes its center, the nucleus pulposus, protrude backwards and push against the spinal nerves, leading to lower back pain. Detection and classification are the two most important tasks in computer aided diagnosing systems. Detection of a herniated ...
