Optimal Timing of Postoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Patients With Extradural Spinal

NCT02790294 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 8

Last updated 2024-05-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This research study is evaluating suitability of a delayed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in management of spine tumors. Currently the standard of care is obtaining an MRI scan in the early postoperative period (within 72 hours after surgery). The purpose of this study is to see if delayed MRI (2 to 3 weeks after surgery) is similar in quality to the earlier MRI.

In this study patients will undergo 2 MRIs after the surgery instead of one MRI. Patients will have one MRI about 3 days after the surgery and one MRI about 2-3 weeks after surgery.

Conditions

  • Spinal Tumor

Interventions

DEVICE

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The routine spine MRI protocol will be utilized, which includes the following sequences: haste localizer, sagittal T1, T2, and short-T1 Inversion Recovery (STIR), axial T2 for lumbar spine or axial gradient echo for cervical and thoracic spine, axial T1, post contrast sagittal and axial T1. All scans will be obtained using a 1.5 Tesla magnet.
