Summary
Dynamic lumbosacral radiculography using metrizamide is effective, particularly in the upright position. This positioning revealed new pathological findings in 68% of patients studied.
Area of Science:
- Neuroradiology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Metrizamide is a novel hydrosoluble contrast medium.
- Dynamic lumbosacral radiculography offers new diagnostic possibilities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of dynamic lumbosacral radiculography with metrizamide.
- To determine the optimal patient positioning for this procedure.
Main Methods:
- 100 consecutive lumbosacral radiculographies were performed.
- Metrizamide was used as the contrast agent.
- Patient positioning was varied, with emphasis on the upright position.
Main Results:
- The upright position was found to be adequate for accentuating or revealing pathological appearances.
- New pathological findings were observed in 68 out of 100 procedures performed in the upright position.
Conclusions:
- Dynamic lumbosacral radiculography with metrizamide is a valuable diagnostic tool.
- The upright position is crucial for maximizing the diagnostic yield of this imaging technique.

01:24Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...
01:21Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System IV: CMRI
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, or CMRI, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that employs a magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to create precise images of the heart and arteries. It provides comprehensive information about cardiac anatomy, function, perfusion, and tissue characterization without ionizing radiation.IndicationsCMRI diagnoses various heart conditions, including tissue damage from heart attacks, ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, aortic issues (tears, aneurysms,...

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...
