Axial Loading during MR Imaging Can Influence Treatment Decision for Symptomatic Spinal Stenosis

Previous studies have shown that axial loading can narrow the spinal canal. However, the clinical significance is unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the narrowing of the spinal canal with axial loading during MR imaging could influence treatment decision for spinal stenosis....
