3 Proof is in the Picture Neutral-Sit Flexion Extension Clermont Radiology s ALL NEW STAND-UP MRI allows top quality imaging of the spine upright, fully weight-loaded, and sees the curvature of the vertebrae, soft tissues including the nerves and discs. Patients can be scanned in the position that causes pain or symptoms. Comparative Case Study: Recumbent MRI Stand-Up MRI This patient was treated for low back pain and radiculopathy by a spinal fusion of L4, L5 and S1. The recumbent scan (left) shows only a normal lordotic alignment of the vertebral column. The upright scan (right) shows a hypermobile instability of the spinal column not visible on the recumbent scan. The spinal instability results in a fluctuating and mobile spinal stenosis.
