Magnetic resonance myelography ( MR myelography or MRI myelography) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that can provide anatomic information about the subarachnoid space. It is a type of MRI examination that uses a contrast medium and magnetic resonance imaging scanner to detect pathology of the spinal cord, including the location of a ...
MRI is the preferred method of diagnosing and evaluating spinal stenosis of all areas of the spine, including cervical, thoracic, and lumbar. [19] [20] MRI is useful to diagnose cervical spondylotic myelopathy (degenerative arthritis of the cervical spine with associated damage to the spinal cord). [21] The finding of degeneration of the ...
The most significant impact of magnetic resonance neurography is on the evaluation of the large proximal nerve elements such as the brachial plexus (the nerves between the cervical spine and the underarm that innervate shoulder, arm and hand), [9] the lumbosacral plexus (nerves between the lumbosacral spine and legs), the sciatic nerve in the pelvis, [10] as well as other nerves such as the ...
MeSH. D009192. OPS-301 code. 3-130. [ edit on Wikidata] Myelography is a type of radiographic examination that uses a contrast medium (e.g. iodised oil [ 1]) to detect pathology of the spinal cord, including the location of a spinal cord injury, cysts, and tumors. Historically the procedure involved the injection of a radiocontrast agent into ...
Lumbar provocative discography (also referred to as "discography" or discogram) is an invasive diagnostic procedure for evaluation for intervertebral disc pathology. It is usually reserved for persons with persistent, severe low back pain (LBP) who have abnormal spaces between vertebrae on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), where other diagnostic tests have failed to reveal clear confirmation ...
Neurogenic claudication ( NC ), also known as pseudoclaudication, is the most common symptom of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and describes intermittent leg pain from impingement of the nerves emanating from the spinal cord. [ 1][ 2] Neurogenic means that the problem originates within the nervous system. Claudication, from Latin claudicare 'to ...
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow MRI is used to assess pulsatile CSF flow both qualitatively and quantitatively. Time-resolved 2D phase-contrast MRI with velocity encoding is the most common method for CSF analysis. [ 1] CSF Fluid Flow MRI detects back and forth flow of Cerebrospinal fluid that corresponds to vascular pulsations from mostly the ...
Cisternography is a medical imaging technique to examine the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, and spinal cord. [ 1][ 2] The gold standard for diagnosis of a cranial cerebrospinal fluid leak is CT cisternography. [ 2] For the diagnosis of a spinal CSF leak radionuclide cisternography also known as radioisotope cisternography is ...
