Application of three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance (MR) Multi-Echo iN Steady-state Acquisition sequences in preoperative evaluation of lumbar disc herniation: a prospective study
The preoperative 3D MRI MENSA sequence can clearly depict the nerve roots and offer desirable contrast between the nerve roots, LF, bone, and intervertebral discs (IVDs). Patients with lumbar degeneration can effectively benefit from MENSA sequence since it provides useful imaging information to help understand disc herniation and compression of adjacent tissues when developing preoperative surgical strategies.
