Out of a series of 1850 cases operated upon for lumbar disc herniation 130 underwent re-
operation because of persistent or recurrent symptoms. Re-operation was successful in …

Thirty patients with failed back surgery syndrome were studied to evaluate the effectiveness
of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic …

Imaging the lumbar spine after surgery for disk herniation is all too often an unrewarding
challenge. A constellation of findings is inevitable, and determining their significance is often …

A prospective study was undertaken to establish the normal spectrum and timing of
gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings in 15 patients who had …

This paper describes an image analysis method that uses automatic algorithms for the
evaluation of herniation classification and geometry in the diagnosis of lumbar herniated …

Purpose and Material: Contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the spine after surgery for lumbar
disk herniation almost always shows pathologic changes. To investigate to what extent …

The objective of this study was to evaluate intravenous contrast‐enhanced computed
tomography as a technique for predicting the within‐level location (s) of compressive soft …

Imaging technologies are vital to the practice of modern spine surgery. This article presents
a comprehensive review of the evolution of both invasive and noninvasive imaging …

Study Design: Patients who had lumbar spine surgeries and experienced residual
symptoms were prospectively studied using computed tomography/discography and …

Imaging of the spine has traditionally been accomplished with plain radiography,
myelography, CT, and radionuclide bone scanning. Recently, MR imaging has become the …
