RMI provides a range of neuro-interventional procedures to diagnose and treat spine disorders, such as osteoporosis, tumors, compression fractures, infections, or chronic back pain.
Diagnostic Procedures
Myelography with Post-Myelographic CT (Computed Tomography)
Uses an injection of contrast material to enable doctors to view the spine, looking for signs of disease or injury to the spinal cord.
Spinal Biopsy
An image-guided procedure that uses a needle to extract a small amount of tissue to test for cancer in the spinal column.
Discography with Manometry
Uses injected contrast material, a CT scanner, and a small probe to study the condition of the discs between the vertebrae (bones that make up the spine).
Disc Aspiration Biopsy
Uses X-Rays to guide a needle that extracts a small amount of tissue from one or more discs to test for possible infection.
Spinal and Pain Management Procedures
Epidural Steroid Injections
Uses X-Rays to guide the injection of a steroid medication to relieve pain from inflamed nerves in the spine.
Nerve or Facet Blocks
X-Ray-guided injection of a steroid medication to relieve pain originating in or transmitted through spinal nerves or joints.
Vertebroplasty
Injection, under X-Ray guidance, of a special cement into an area of the spine to repair small fractures or cavities in bones, caused by injury or disorders such as osteoporosis.
