Service Providers for MRI OF L/S DYNAMIC WITH CSF FLOW
MRI of the Lumbosacral Spine (L/S) Dynamic with CSF Flow is a specialized imaging technique designed to evaluate both the mobility of the lumbosacral spine and the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) around the spinal cord. It is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions where traditional static imaging may miss dynamic or functional issues. Key conditions assessed include spinal cord compression, disc herniation, syringomyelia, CSF flow abnormalities (e.g., Chiari malformation), spinal instability (e.g., spondylolisthesis), and spinal tumors. The procedure involves dynamic imaging, with the patient changing positions during the scan, often using contrast dye to enhance visibility. Preparation is minimal, though fasting may be required if contrast is used. The procedure is generally safe, with risks limited to mild discomfort or rare allergic reactions to contrast. This MRI technique offers valuable insights into both structural and functional spinal issues.
