Three hundred and forty patients with signs and symptoms of lumbar disk disease were evaluated preoperatively by conventional X-rays, computed tomography, and 2.0 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). High-resolution T2 weighted MRI provided a truly noninvasive myelogram. The operative findings were predicted by and correlated with the neuroradiologic studies. High-resolution MRI with intravenous gadolinium-DTPA (Magnevist, Berlex) has been particularly useful in evaluating patients with a history of prior disk surgery and patients who were not relieved of pain by lumbar diskectomy.
340例有腰椎间盘疾病体征和症状的患者在术前接受了传统X线、计算机断层扫描和2.0特斯拉磁共振成像（MRI）检查。高分辨率T2加权MRI提供了真正的无创脊髓造影。手术结果可通过神经放射学研究进行预测并与之相关。静脉注射钆喷酸葡胺（马根维显，贝林）的高分辨率MRI在评估有既往椎间盘手术史的患者以及经腰椎间盘切除术疼痛未缓解的患者时特别有用。
