Abstract:
A host of different pulse sequences has been applied to MR imaging of the spine. As the routine evaluation of the spine has become quite standardized, much of the recent development has resulted in minor refinements of this process. This article outlines the pulse sequences commonly used for routine MR imaging of the lumbar spine and provides a critique of the newer sequences and the modifications of the conventional techniques.
