The clinical diagnostic value of MRI-CPR was better than 2D MRI in the determination of the responsible nerve root. Moreover, MRI-CPR sequence images can clearly show the route of lumbosacral nerve roots and their relationship with adjacent tissues. Therefore, MRI-CPR can be an important complement to conventional 2D MRI in the diagnosis of responsible nerve roots in patients with ALDS.
