Synopsis
The role of diffusion weighted imaging has expanded beyond
the brain to whole body applications.
This presentation will explore the contribution of DWI in the routine
evaluation of spinal conditions focusing on its role in the detection,
characterization and surveillance of neoplastic, degenerative and infectious
diseases.
MR
spectroscopy has the power to delineate the chemical signature of tissues in
health and disease. Research suggests
detection of key MRS biomarkers may have a role analogous to provocative
discography in identification of the painful disc. This presentation will cover the key findings
in the painful disc and review the research work done to date.Acknowledgements
