Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body. Human imaging started in the late 1970’s, and has become extremely commonplace in the practice of medicine. MRI of the spine shows the anatomy of the spine in beautiful and precise fashion. The problem is that MRI can show “abnormal” fi...
متن کاملRole of Anatomical Landmarks in Identifying Normal and Transitional Vertebra in Lumbar Spine Magnetic Resonance Imaging
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. PURPOSE Identification of transitional vertebra is important in spine imaging, especially in presurgical planning. Pasted images of the whole spine obtained using high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are helpful in counting vertebrae and identifying transitional vertebrae. Counting vertebrae and identifying transitional vertebrae is challenging in isol...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine with CT correlation.
The results of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomography (CT) in 18 patients with known degenerative disk disease of the lumbar spine were compared. In 60 intervertebral disk levels studied, there were 17 disks with degeneration and disk bulge, and 15 herniated disks. Final diagnoses were based on several factors, with surgical confirmation in five patients. There was good correla...
متن کاملThe effect of backpacks on the lumbar spine in children: a standing magnetic resonance imaging study.
STUDY DESIGN This study is a repeated measures design to measure the lumbar spine response to typical school backpack loads in healthy children. The lumbar spine in this setting was measured for the first time by an upright magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to measure the lumbar spine response to typical school backpack loads in healthy children....
