3.0T MRI tractography of lumbar nerve roots in disc herniation.
BACKGROUND Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) with fiber tracking (FT) has found clinical applications in the evaluation of the central nervous system and has been extensively used to image white matter tract. The feasibility of FT of the lumbar nerve roots in disc herniation is unclear. PURPOSE To demonstrate the feasibility of FT in the lumbar nerve roots, and to assess potential differences in...
متن کاملActivation of neurotrophins in lumbar dorsal root probably contributes to neuropathic pain after spinal nerve ligation
Objective(s): Neurotrophins (NTs) exert various effects on neuronal system. Growing evidence indicates that NTs are involved in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain. However, the exact role of these proteins in modulating nociceptive signaling requires being defined. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of spinal nerve ligation (SNL) on NTs activation in the lumbar dorsal ...
متن کاملChanges in lumbosacral spinal nerve roots on diffusion tensor imaging in spinal stenosis
Lumbosacral degenerative disc disease is a common cause of lower back and leg pain. Conventional T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) scans are commonly used to image spinal cord degeneration. However, these modalities are unable to image the entire lumbosacral spinal nerve roots. Thus, in the present study, we assessed the potential of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for qu...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor imaging of lumbar spinal nerve in subjects with degenerative lumbar disorders.
Recently several authors have reported that diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) might provide a new understanding of sciatica. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical feasibility of DTI for the evaluation of lumbar spinal nerve of patients with sciatica associated with lumbar degenerative disorders. Thirty-four patients (25men, mean age63. 3years) with degenerated lumbar disease, 1...
متن کاملImaging in lumbar spinal stenosis.
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a common condition seen in patients presenting to physicians who specialize in pain management or perform spine surgery. The designation of "spinal stenosis" without other qualifiers is vague and as such holds little practical value. Classifications have been created in order to more specifically describe the various etiologies as well as the site(s) of narrowing. For ...
