Degenerative lumbar scoliosis: added value of coronal images to routine lumbar MRI for nerve root compromise.

Published in: European radiology (2020)

• Sagittal and axial images have low sensitivity for detection of extraforaminal nerve root compromise in degenerative scoliosis. • Addition of coronal images may improve the sensitivity in nerve root compromise. • The structural changes that may contribute to nerve root compromise can also be easily assessed with coronal images.
