Vacuum Phenomenon in the Lumbar Spine: Pilot Study for Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Arvy ButtiensMarian SimkoJohan W M Van GoethemPublished in: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology (2023)
The presence of VP in degenerative disc disease is a sign of segmental instability which is important for planning spinal fusion surgery. Our study showed that VP can be detected on MRI of the lumbar spine with high accuracy and almost perfect interobserver agreement by adding GE sequences to the scanning protocol.
