MRI of the lumbar spine: comparison of 3D isotropic turbo spin-echo SPACE sequence <i>versus</i> conventional 2D sequences at 3.0 T

Abstract

Isotropic 3D T2W TSE-SPACE at 3.0 T was comparable to 2D T2W TSE for detecting foraminal stenosis, central spinal stenosis, and nerve compression with better inter-observer agreements and symptom correlation.
