Reducing surgical levels by paraspinal mapping and diffusion tensor imaging techniques in lumbar spinal stenosis

BACKGROUND Correlating symptoms and physical examination findings with surgical levels based on common imaging results is not reliable. In patients who have no concordance between radiological and clinical symptoms, the surgical levels determined by conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neurogenic examination (NE) may lead to a more extensive surgery and significant complications. W...

Diffusion tensor imaging of lumbar spinal nerve in subjects with degenerative lumbar disorders.

Recently several authors have reported that diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) might provide a new understanding of sciatica. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical feasibility of DTI for the evaluation of lumbar spinal nerve of patients with sciatica associated with lumbar degenerative disorders. Thirty-four patients (25men, mean age63. 3years) with degenerated lumbar disease, 1...

Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Spinal Cord Injury

Traumatic injury to spinal cord affects thousands of persons and costs billions of dollars annually in treatment expenses. Although less than a decade ago spinal cord injury was thought of as an untreatable condition, many promising new treatments are now in the experimental stage. Rodent models are essential for validating new therapeutic trials. This paper presents results of in vivo magnetic...
