Editor’s Choice Machine learning algorithms were trained to segment lumbar spinal canal areas on axial views and intervertebral discs on sagittal views of lumbar MRIs. These were used to measure spinal canal areas at each lumbar level (L1 through L5).
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors compared the efficacy of volumetric high-resolution heavily T2-weighted and time-resolved contrast-enhanced images in spinal vascular malformation diagnosis and feeder characterization and assessed whether a combined evaluation improved the overall accuracy of diagnosis in 28 patients.
Editor’s Choice The authors assessed the reproducibility and accuracy of cervical spinal cord gray matter and white matter cross-sectional area measurements using magnetization inversion recovery acquisition images and a fully automatic postprocessing segmentation algorithm. The cervical spinal cord of 24

Editor’s Choice In this secondary analysis of the CT and MR imaging studies of the prospective, double-blind Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections for Spinal Stenosis (LESS) trial participants, the authors found no differences in baseline imaging characteristics between those receiving epidural
Editor’s Choice Using spinal MR imaging to dichotomize patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension into spinal longitudinal extradural CSF collection positive and negative populations accurately determines the nature of their underlying CSF leak (mechanical dural tear versus CSF venous fistula or
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors evaluated the immediate and short-term efficacy of intra-articular and periarticular steroid/anesthetic injections for facet-mediated lumbar pain. Seventy-seven patients had 100 procedures with 205 total facet joints injected. All intra-articular, all periarticular, and partial peri-/intra-articular injections
