METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIAGNOSING LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for diagnosing spinal canal stenosis, wherein the method for diagnosing spinal canal stenosis is the step of sequentially receiving phase difference magnetic resonance images of each time section taken by standardizing one cardiac cycle into a plurality of time sections, each time Obtaining a standardized cerebrospinal fluid velocity distribution for each time section from the phase difference magnetic resonance image of the section, calculating turbulent kinetic energy using the cerebrospinal fluid velocity distribution obtained for each time section, and calculating the turbulent kinetic energy And diagnosing spinal canal stenosis using.
