Enhancement of nerve roots in the lumbosacral spine after intravenous administration of gadolinium contrast agents is seen in benign conditions such as disc herniation and spinal stenosis and may be observed in either the unoperated or postoperative spine. Correlating reasonably well with the clinical syndrome, nerve root enhancement represents actual pathology within nerve roots reflected by this breakdown in the blood-nerve barrier. Nerve root enhancement may be used in certain circumstances to show and confirm clinically relevant neurological disease.
静脉注射钆对比剂后，在腰椎和骶椎可见神经根强化，这在诸如椎间盘突出和椎管狭窄等良性疾病中出现，且在未手术或术后脊柱中均可观察到。神经根强化与临床综合征有较好的相关性，它代表了血神经屏障破坏所反映的神经根内的实际病理情况。在某些情况下，神经根强化可用于显示和确认临床相关的神经疾病。
