The potential impact of dynamic uprightMRI in the surgicalmanagement of patientswithdegenerative
lumbosacral spine disease

I
n cases of clinical and radiological mismatch, conventional MRI fails to demonstrate convincing finding to explain patient’s
symptoms that warrant surgical intervention. Completely open MRI scanner allows upright, angled-intermediate, as well as
recumbent imaging. This would at the same time allow partial or full weight bearing and simultaneous kinetic maneuvers of the
patients’ whole body. The objective of the study was to assess the utility of upright dynamic MR examination to reveal occult
lesions of the lumbar spine and theunderlying etiologyof lowbackpainor sciatica inconventionalMRI, under-estimated thesefindings.
