Utility of Emergent Spine MRI in the Emergency Department
The positivity rate for ED spine MRI in this study was 18.9%. Of the positive cases, 17.7% underwent hospitalization, with 13.1% requiring emergent surgery. Considering high costs in both time and resource utilization, further research is needed to optimize the triage process for patients requiring emergent spine MRI.
