The use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in the diagnosis of radicular pain due to lateral canal stenosis in 21 patients is reported. NMR was able to distinguish normal intervertebral discs from degenerate discs, and NMR evidence of reduction of epidural fat was more reliable than radiculography in identifying lateral root entrapment. NMR is an important advance in the investigation of lumbar radiculopathies.
报告了21例因侧隐窝狭窄引起的神经根性疼痛患者使用核磁共振（NMR）进行诊断的情况。核磁共振能够区分正常椎间盘与退变椎间盘，并且在识别侧方神经根受压方面，硬膜外脂肪减少的核磁共振证据比神经根造影更可靠。核磁共振在腰椎神经根病的检查中是一项重要进展。
