With the current emphasis on cost containment, it is important to order the single best diagnostic test when clinical uncertainties must be resolved. Magnetic resonance imaging is currently the optimal imaging modality to provide the maximum amount of information when evaluating patients with suspected spinal disorders. A comprehensive magnetic resonance imaging study is needed along with a subspecialty interpretation to provide the greatest amount of useful clinical information.
在当前对成本控制的重视下，当必须解决临床不确定性时，开出最佳的单项诊断测试很重要。当评估疑似脊柱疾病的患者时，磁共振成像目前是提供最大信息量的最佳成像方式。需要进行全面的磁共振成像研究并结合亚专业解读，以提供最大量的有用临床信息。
