MRI Case Studies

There is considerable clinical evidence that Weight-Bearing UPRIGHT® MRI provides medical benefits that are not duplicated by any other MRI

Case #1: Postoperative Hypermobile Instability

Case #1: Postoperative Hypermobile Instability

You need the upright scan to see the spinal instability in this patient with recurrent low back pain following an L4-S1 fusion.

Case #2: Chiari Malformation Visualization When Upright

Case #2: Chiari Malformation Visualization When Upright

Upright imaging revealed increased downward herniation of the cerebellar tonsils (arrow). Subsequent neurosurgery (a posterior fossa decompression) eliminated the patient's sudden drop attacks.

Upright Dynamic MRI Reveals Hidden Disc Herniation
Case #3: Upright Dynamic MRI Reveals Hidden Disc Herniation

Case #3:Upright Dynamic MRI Reveals Hidden Disc Herniation

You need the upright scan to see the position-dependent focal posterior disc herniation at the C4/5 level (arrow). Note the asscociated spinal cord compression on the standing-extension scans in both the sagittal (top left) and axial planes(bottom left).
