MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF THE LUMBAR SPINE

The objective of this paper is to present the principle of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its approach in the medical clinic. A comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to the acquisition of high resolution and contrast images in MRI requires an in-depth analysis of the underlying principles and technical aspects involved. MRI has attracted a great interest in the field of medicine because it does not use harmful ionizing radiation to obtain images of the body, tissues, and organs. In this study, we will find out how MRI is useful in diagnostic of different lumbar spine pathology.
