This study defines the accuracy of gadopentetate-dimeglumine-enhanced MR imaging in
patients with failed back surgery syndrome by comparing the imaging studies with surgical …

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a powerful diagnostic tool for patients with the failed
back surgery syndrome. The multiplanar imaging capability, superior soft-tissue contrast …

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

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 …

Gadolinium chelates are often useful in sorting out different causes of lower back pain and
lumbar radiculopathy. Gadolinium is particularly useful, for example, in distinguishing …

The magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings in patients after surgery for degenerative
disc disease in the lumbar and cervical spine are discussed. In the lumbar spine, changes …

Gadopentetate dimeglumine-enhanced T1-weighted MR imaging has been used to
distinguish epidural fibrosis from recurrent disk herniation in the postoperative lumbar spine …

The role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the evaluation of the spine is expanding
rapidly. In addition to being noninvasive, MRI offers high soft-tissue contrast and multiplanar …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a principal modality in the evaluation of the
postoperative lumbar spine. Gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA) can …

The aim of this study was to determine MRI findings in patients successfully operated upon
for lumbar disc herniation. We investigated 20 patients with a successful outcome after L4-5 …
