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

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 …

Background: There are patients with limiting low back pain (LBP) with or without radicular
pain in whom conventional supine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) show no causative …

Background Patients with low back pain frequently demonstrate recumbent magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) alterations not always related to homogeneous clinical symptoms …

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 …

Spinal canal stenosis is a dynamic phenomenon that becomes apparent during spinal
loading. Current diagnostic procedures have considerable short comings in diagnosing the …

Introduction This study aimed to determine changes in size of lumbar spinal canal and
related articular structures, during dynamic MR scans acquired in symptomatic patients …

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 …

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether positional magnetic resonance (MR) images of the lumbar
spine demonstrate nerve root compromise not visible on MR images obtained with the …

This review illustrates the potential of a new upright MRI to reveal “occult” dynamic lesions
within the spinal canal and the neural foramina, ie, pathologic changes that were under …
