The role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the evaluation of the spine is expanding
rapidly. In addition to being noninvasive, MRI offers high soft-tissue contrast and multiplanar …

[en] MRI is the preferred imaging technique in intracranial pathology and it is unquestionally
the imaging modality of choice in evaluating spinal cord diseases. The primary role of MRI …

SUMMARY MRI is a unique, noninvasive imaging modality that has already received wide
application in the evaluation of abnormalities involving the spinal axis. It is the procedure of …

Purpose: To characterize the inter-and intraobserver variability of qualitative, non–disk
contour degenerative findings of the lumbar spine at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging …

Purpose: To determine whether a commercially available automated MR myelogram
sequence improves the interpretation and diagnostic yield at MRI of the lumbar spine …

Discussion Radionuclide scintigraphy has one small advantage over MRI during a search
for tumor or infection when the location is not well defined, in that a single MRI study is …

Contrast-enhanced myelography has long been a standard diagnostic procedure to
evaluate degenerative spine disease in patients with symptoms suggestive of spinal cord …

Abstract Background and Purpose To determine the efficacy of standardized definitions of
degenerative change in reducing variability in interpretation of lumbar spine magnetic …

Radiography (plain roentgenography, myelography, computed tomography (CT), computed
tomographic myelography) has been used to identify morphologic changes involving the …

Magnetic resonance imaging is the imaging method of choice in most diseases of the spinal
canal and cord. Many pulse sequences are available, and in this era of increased …
