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.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Conventional spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cannot provide accurate diagnosis and surgical planning; thin-layer scanning can enhance the diagnostic efficacy. This study aimed to investigate the value of 3-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance (MR) in preoperative evaluation of lumbar disc herniation, with a focus on the application of Multi-Echo iN Steady-state Acquisition (MENSA) sequence.

Methods

A total of 51 patients who underwent lumbar disc herniation surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2021 to December 2021 were prospectively enrolled. A cross-sectional study was conducted on those patients. The Cube group was scanned using 3D-FSE-Cube sequence, the Cube stir group was scanned using 3D-FSE-Cube Short Tau Inversion Recovery
