Ex B Match Imaging Modality to Pathologic Condition
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) | Soft tissues of lumbar spine (ie, spinal cord and intervertebral disk spaces) |
| Myelography | Structures within subarachnoid space |
| Nuclear Medicine | Inflammatory conditions such as Paget's disease, neoplastic processes, osteomyelitis, ankylosing spondylitis, metastases |
| Computed Tomography (CT) | fractures, disk disease, neoplastic disease, spina bifida, spondylolisthesis, spondylolysis |
| Bone Densitometry | Osteoporosis due to long-term steroid use, hyper-parathyroidism, estrogen deficiency, advancing age, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, alcoholism |
| Myelography | requires an injection of contrast medium via a lumbar or cervical puncture to visualize the soft tissue structures of the spinal canal |
| Nuclear Medicine | a radiopharmaceutical-tagged tracer element is injected that concentrates in areas of increased bone activity, demonstrating a 'hot spot' in the image |
| Computed Tomography (CT) | evaluation of the vertebral column |
| Bone Densitometry | non-invasive measurement, accurate within 1% and radiation skin dose is low |
| Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) | herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP), Spina bifida |
