[en] With few exceptions, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming the modality of
choice for the evaluation of degenerative disorders of the entire spine. With the …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has had an impressive impact on evaluation of
degenerative diseases of the spine. Nevertheless, false negatives can occur on images …

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 …

Sixty-five patients were examined with magnetic resonance imaging (MR) to determine what
