The influence of knee bolster on lumbar spinal stenosis parameters on MR images.
Azaria SimonovichAnna Nagar OsherovLina LinovLeonid KalichmanPublished in: Skeletal radiology (2019)
MR images at evaluated spinal levels taken without knee bolster showed greater correlations of the spinal canal cross-sectional area with the Oswestry score than ones with knee bolster. Thus, one may prefer MR images acquired without a bolster below the knee compared to an MRI with a knee bolster.
