Gadolinium diskography.
نویسنده
چکیده
Gadolinium can be used to perform diskography in patients with a documented allergy to iodinated contrast material. MR images can be obtained in multiple planes with excellent delineation of disk architecture. Dilute gadolinium leaves the disk space within a few days of injection.

Endplate degeneration observed on magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine: correlation with pain provocation and disc changes observed on computed tomography diskography.
STUDY DESIGN One hundred and three lumbar intervertebral discs (L3/4-L5/S1) of 36 patients with low back pain were examined with computed tomography (CT) diskography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). OBJECTIVES To determine whether lumbar endplate degeneration correlates with the degree of disc degeneration or disc rupture and to determine if there is an association between pain provocati...
متن کاملThe role of diskography after negative postmyelography CT scans: retrospective review.
Review of our records for a 2-year period (1985-1986) yielded 15 patients in whom unequivocally normal myelograms and postmetrizamide CT scans had been obtained before diskography. In none of these patients was the diskogram or postdiskography CT scan positive for either central, posterolateral, or extreme lateral disk herniation. It was our experience that, with the new-generation, improved-re...
متن کاملComparison of MR and diskography in detecting radial tears of the anulus: a postmortem study.
Radial tears of the anulus fibrosus, which anatomic studies suggest are a primary event in disk degeneration, can be detected by diskography or MR imaging. We compared the sensitivity of MR and diskography in the detection of anular tears. MR, diskography, and cryomicrotomy anatomic sectioning were performed in eight cadaver lumbar spines. Diskography demonstrated 15 radial tears in 36 interver...
متن کاملDiskography: science and the ad hoc hypothesis.
Two editorials were sought on the subject of diskography based on the paper by Schellhas et al in this issue of the AJNR. The suspicion was that there would be divergent opinions concerning the value of diskography in general and on its value at the C2–C3 level in particular. The reliance that many spine surgeons place on diskography should make us aware of the potential value of diskography in...
متن کاملCervical disk syndromes: value of metrizamide myelography and diskography.
This paper reports on the respective diagnostic values of myelography with water-soluble contrast media and diskography in a study of 100 patients examined between 1979 and 1981 and operated on because of cervical disk disease. The results of the study led to a change of the diagnostic procedures formerly applied in radicular syndromes (i.e., diskography, and then perhaps myelography) and in ce...
