BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Axial loaded MR imaging, which can simulate the spinal
canal of patients in a standing position, demonstrates a significant reduction of the DCSA …

Study Design. Cross-sectional registry and imaging cohort study. Objective. To examine
whether the dural sac cross-sectional area (DCSA) in axial loaded magnetic resonance …

Purpose Some reported studies have evaluated the dural sac in patients with lumbar spinal
stenosis (LSS) by computed tomography (CT) after conventional myelography or magnetic …

Purpose Weight bearing does alter the dimension of lumbar spinal canal, but no study has
analyzed its clinical correlation. This study aims to evaluate whether the changes in dural …

Study Design. We compared the sizes of the dural sac among conventional magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), axial loaded MRI, and upright myelography in patients with …

Abstract Background Context Previous studies have shown that axial loading during
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) significantly reduces the size of the dural sac compared …

Objective To assess the dynamic change of the dural sac size in patients with lumbar spinal
stenosis (LSS) from supine to standing position and their correlation with clinical symptoms …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Axial-loaded MR imaging, which simulates the spinal
canal in a standing position, demonstrates reductions of the dural sac cross-sectional area …

Abstract Background Context In routine clinical practice, the presence of lumbar spinal
stenosis (LSS) is assessed on axial magnetic resonance images (MRI) typically acquired …

Study Design. Positional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study of control subjects.
Objectives. To determine dimensional changes in the lumbar dural sac as a function of …
