Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of repeat MRI scans done just before vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty in identifying additional vertebral compression fractures.
- A total of 194 patients were analyzed, and among 20 who had repeat MRIs, 14 new fractures were found, highlighting the significance of updated imaging in treatment planning.
- The findings suggest that conducting a repeat MRI within one week before the procedure can enhance detection of occult fractures, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
