A New MRI Grading System for Cervical Foraminal Stenosis Based on Axial T2-Weighted Images
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) grading system for cervical neural foraminal stenosis (NFS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Cervical NFS at bilateral C4/5, C5/6, and C6/7 was classified into the following three grades based on the T2-weighted axial images: Grade 0 = absence of NFS, with the narrowest width of the neural fora...
متن کاملA practical MRI grading system for lumbar foraminal stenosis.
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility of a new grading system for lumbar foraminal stenosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four grades were developed for lumbar foraminal stenosis on the basis of sagittal MRI. Grade 0 refers to the absence of foraminal stenosis; grade 1 refers to mild foraminal stenosis showing perineural fat obliteration in the two opposing directions, vertical ...
متن کاملCorrelation between MRI Grading System and Surgical Findings for Lumbar Foraminal Stenosis
OBJECTIVE Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) grading systems using sagittal images are useful for evaluation of lumbar foraminal stenosis. We evaluated whether such a grading system is useful as a diagnostic tool for surgery. METHODS Between July 2014 and June 2015, 99 consecutive patients underwent unilateral lumbar foraminotomy for lumbar foraminal stenosis. Surgically confirmed foraminal ste...
متن کاملAnalysis of an Axial T2 Weighted Brain MRI
This paper simply encapsulate the recent developments in the field of Symmetry based approaches to detect tumor and then came up with a new parameter which plays a crucial role in proving that a high degree of Symmetry is present in an axial normal human brain MRI (Magnetic resonance Imaging) and this symmetry get affected or not present in anomalous cases highlighting the fact that tumor might...
متن کاملcomparison of mr images for age determination; t1 weighted images (t1wi) versus t2* weighted images (t2*wi)
purpose t1wi (t1 weighted image) was acquired in order to grade bone fusion following the studies by fifa (federation internationale de football associations). research using images other than t1wi has not been reported. the aim of this study is to evaluate the grade of epiphyseal fusion by t2* weighted images (t2*wi) and to investigate new findings on t2*wi as compared with t1wi. methods a tot...
