Daniel S. J. Choy1, Gian Paolo Tassi2 and Richard B. Libes1

1 Laser Spine Center and Columbia University, 66 E 80th St., Suite 1A, New York, NY 10021.
2 Casa di Cura Villa Anna, San Benedetto del Tronto, Pescara, Italy.

OBJECTIVE. Our objective was to present a method of performing thoracolumbar MRI with intervertebral disk pressure at 150 kPa without the patient being seated.

CONCLUSION. Spine MRI with compression is more physiologic and will produce a higher yield than standard supine MRI.

Keywords: compression • lumbar spine • MRI • percutaneous laser disk decompression • spine
