Patient and physician radiation exposure during minimally invasive lumbar decompression: A prospective assessment of X-ray exposure risks
CONCLUSIONS: This study is an attempt to quantify the radiation exposure to the physician and patient during the mild® procedure. Compared with other fluoroscopically guided pain management procedures, patient and physician radiation exposure during mild® was low.PMID:38069541 | DOI:10.1111/papr.13329 (Source: Pain Physician)

Quantification of cauda equina nerve root dispersion through radiomics features in weight-bearing MRI in normal subjects and spinal canal stenosis patients
ConclusionsNerve root distribution inside the dural sac changed between supine and upright positions, and radiomics features were able to quantify the differences between normal and LSCS subjects.Clinical relevance statementThe distribution of cauda equina nerve roots and the redundant nerve root sign significantly varies between supine and upright positions in normal subjects and spinal canal stenosis patients, respectively. Radiomics features quantify nerve root dispersion and correlates with pain severity.Key Points• Weight-bearing MRI depicts spatial distribution of the cauda equina in both supine and upright positio...
