Learn why certain insurance plans are pulling back coverage for advanced MRI positioning and what it means for patients seeking specialized imaging.
Learn how an Upright MRI can enhance Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis by capturing clearer images of spinal lesions and brain changes in a natural, weight-bearing position.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, often shortened to EDS, is one of those conditions that can be hard to pin down. It doesn’t always follow a clear path. Symptoms vary widely, from flexible joints and chronic pain to more serious issues like fragile blood vessels or neurological complications. For people going through a long and confusing diagnostic journey, imaging tools like MRI can be incredibly helpful in putting the pieces together.
Chiari malformation is a neurological condition that can lead to serious symptoms like headaches, neck pain, and dizziness. However, diagnosing Chiari malformation is not always straightforward, especially since its symptoms can be easily mistaken for other conditions. Traditional imaging methods, such as X-rays or MRIs, sometimes fail to fully capture the complexities of the malformation. This is where Upright MRI technology comes into play. It has become an essential tool for diagnosing Chiari malformation, offering clear advantages over traditional MRI techniques by providing dynamic, functional images that help doctors better understand the condition’s impact.
Discover how an Upright MRI can improve the detection of whiplash-related injuries by capturing spinal alignment and soft tissue issues in weight-bearing positions.
Discover how a positional MRI detects cranio-cervical instability by capturing images in different positions, revealing issues missed by traditional MRIs.
Learn why traditional MRIs may miss critical spinal pathologies and how advanced imaging techniques provide a clearer diagnosis for better treatment outcomes.
