Weight-bearing MRI is a unique modality in diagnostic imaging that allows for the assessment of spinal pathology in positions inaccessible to the conventional MRI technique. Weight-bearing MRI allows a clinician to position a patient into flexion, extension, rotation, or side-bending to a certain degree with an axial load. In addition, it also provides valuable insights into the spine’s position or alignment that may not be seen in the traditional MRI scan. The findings obtained can then guide treatment approaches that are better tailored to a patient’s needs.
Join reputed Spine Surgeon Dr. Naresh Babu in an exclusive session on the “Added Value of Weight-bearing MRI in Evaluation of Spine” on 10 th April 2023, 3:00 PM IST onwards. Stay tuned for the session!
