8 年Kevin, I agree with that article. I have formed the opinion over the years that, if possible, all MRIs should be counted down from c1-2 if quick scout map (phased array) coils can be obtained. That way there is no doubt since often standard lumbar MRI and plain films are often incorrect when only looking at the lumbar portion, ribs, "counting up", renal arteries, or even the ILL (iliolumbar ligament). Although ILL and renal artery together work about 90-95% of the time. Such scout images on MRI only take a minute or so with newer software.
