Diagnostic Validity of MRI in Lumbar Herniated Intervertebral Disc
Conference paper
Abstract
In addition to the impressive quality of its images, the negligible risk and multiplanar capabilities of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have led to its widespread use for studying the spine. It is now the primary imaging study for most spinal evaluations. Recently, with the development of high-resolution surface-coil MRI, it became possible to characterize and differentiate various subgroups of lumbar disc disease.
