MRI Disc Spectroscopy

MRI DISC SPECTROSCOPY vs INVASIVE DISCOGRAPHY FOR IDENTIFYING PAINFUL DISCS

MRI Disc Spectroscopy is an emerging non-invasive MRI technique requiring no invasive injection or contrast dye, which involves spectroscopic analysis of the biochemical composition of intervertebral discs using advanced MRI techniques and specialised software to non-invasively identify pain-generating discs. Studies have demonstrated a high correlation between non invasive MRI Disc Spectroscopy and traditional Invasive Provocative

IMAGING GUIDED EUFLEXXA INJECTION FOR MANAGEMENT OF KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS

Osteoarthritis affects around 15% of the Australian population, and is a leading cause of debilitating pain in the ageing population. (MJA) Approximately 65,000 total knee replacement operations are performed in Australia each year (AOANJRR 2019), putting it amongst the most commonly performed elective surgeries. There are a variety of non surgical treatment options for knee

BACK PAIN – IMAGING AND IMAGING-GUIDED INTERVENTION

Lower back pain is one of the most common clinical presentations in general practice and emergency departments around the world, and around 80% of us will experience issues with back pain requiring management in our lifetimes. Degenerative disc disease is so common with advancing age that from a radiological perspective it can almost be viewed

IMAGING-GUIDED MANAGEMENT OF SHOULDER PAIN

Shoulder pain requiring some form of management affects around a quarter of Australians in their lifetime, making it one of the most common and debilitating musculoskeletal complaints. The range of underlying pathology is vast, but from a primary care perspective, identifying or excluding some key treatable acute pathologies is an important first step in diagnosis
