“TRU-SCAN MRI” IN CLINICAL PRACTICE – A RADIOLOGIST’S PERSPECTIVE

Case Study #8: Disc Protrusion at C5-6 and C6-7

Case Study #9: Evaluation of Spinal Stability
The recumbent scan (left) demonstrates minor degenerative anterolisthesis at L4/5. The upright-flexion study (right) reveals further anterior slip of L4 on L5. This scans show hypermobile translational spinal instability, which can be a surgical indication in case of related low back pain.
