2. Magnetic resonance myelography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_myelography

   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 ...

3. Cerebrospinal fluid flow MRI - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_Fluid_Flow_MRI

   The key to Phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI) is the use of a bipolar gradient. [4] A bipolar gradient has equal positive and negative magnitudes that are applied for the same time duration. The bipolar gradient in PC-MRI is put in a sequence after RF excitation but before data collection during the echo time of the generic MRI modality.

4. Interventional magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventional_magnetic...

   Interventional magnetic resonance imaging, also interventional MRI or IMRI, is the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to do interventional radiology procedures.. Because of the lack of harmful effects on the patient and the operator, MR is well suited for "interventional radiology", where the images produced by an MRI scanner are used to guide a minimally-invasive procedure ...

5. Magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging

   MRI can detect health problems or confirm a diagnosis, but medical societies often recommend that MRI not be the first procedure for creating a plan to diagnose or manage a patient's complaint. A common case is to use MRI to seek a cause of low back pain ; the American College of Physicians , for example, recommends against imaging (including ...

6. Magnetic resonance neurography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_neurography

   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 ...

7. Lumbar spinal stenosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_spinal_stenosis

   MRI of a lumbar spinal stenosis L4-L5. L4-L5 antherolisthesis of grade I. Hypertrophy of interspinous ligaments in relation to Baastrup's disease. 67 years old man. MRI is the preferred method of diagnosing and evaluating spinal stenosis of all areas of the spine, including cervical, thoracic, and lumbar.

8. Spinal fMRI - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_fMRI

   Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the spinal cord (spinal fMRI) is an adaptation of the fMRI method that has been developed for use in the brain. Although the basic principles underlying the methods are the same, spinal fMRI requires a number of specific adaptations to accommodate the periodic motion of the spinal cord, the small cross-sectional dimensions (roughly 8 mm × 15 mm ...

9. Myelography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelography

   This procedure is to look for the level of spinal cord disease such as lumbar nerve root compression, cauda equina syndrome, conus medullaris lesions, and spinal stenosis. This is done for those who are unwilling or unable to do MRI scan of the spine. Lumbar puncture is done before injected contrast into the thecal sac.
