Lumbar MRI

Lumbar MRI examines the lumbar section of the spine, the region where back problems are commonly originated. The MR protocol is one of the most common worldwide and consists of a coronal T2-w FSE, 3 sagittal acquisitions (T2-w FSE, STIR, T1-w FSE) and an axial T2-w FSE. Most of the time, there is no need for contrast (Gd) injection. Of course, additional sequences can be used according to the clinical question. #Repost @radiologyedu
