Objectives The objective of the review was to examine the evidence comparing upright to
supine MRI of the lumbar spine. Key findings A literature search identified 14 articles …

Supine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is routinely used in the assessment of low back
pain and radiculopathy. However, imaging findings often correlate poorly with clinical …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the established technique for evaluating the spine.
Unfortunately, the supine position of the patient during conventional MRI scanning does not …

Background: Lumbar back pain and radiculopathy are common diagnoses. Unfortunately,
conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and clinical symptoms do not …

Study Design. Cross-sectional study. Objective. To investigate if adding a lumbar pillow in
supine position during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is superior to standing positional …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine is one of the most frequently
requested MRI examinations, and the excellent quality images obtained with modern …

Background The purpose of the present study is to examine the possible correlation
between standing plain x-rays and supine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluating …

High-intensity zones (HIZ) are linear or globular areas of high signal seen on T2-weighted
(T2W) images in the posterior annulus fibrosis, which are separate from and hyperintense to …

Background We hypothesized that axial-loaded magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
modified with the use of a cushion placed behind the lower back (ie BS-MRI method), would …

Study Design: A retrospective cohort. Background: Degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) with
