Application of MR PROSET Technique in Diagnosing Spinal Nerve Roots Diseases / 中国医学影像学杂志

ABSTRACT

Purpose To investigate the clinical value of MR PROSET technique in showing and diagnosing in lumbarsacral nerve root diseases.Materials and Methods Conventional MRI sequence and PROSET sequence coronal images were performed in lumbosacral nerve roots of 15 healthy volunteers and 47 low back pain patients,each case performed 3D maximum intensity projection (3D MIP) post-processed.Spinal nerveroots were observed.Results The PROSET could show dura,dura sheath,spinal nerveroot,ganlias,segments of the nerves posterior to the ganglions well and could be observed from multiple aspects by the 3D MIP.Among the 47 cases of luber nerve root disease,PROSET could show the level of the invasion and compression to the ganglias.Conclusion According to the PROSET technique and conventional MRI picture,can provide the satisfied proof to the diagnosis of lumbosacral nerve root diseases.
