What are the properties of BoneMRI?

• Geometrically accurate bone morphology

• Quantitative HU contrast

How does BoneMRI work?

• Dedicated protocol: Dedicated 4 minute MRI protocol to extract the right data from the scanner

• No hardware dependency: Works with most commonly used MRI scanners

• Seamless integration: BoneMRI is automatically reconstructed and forwarded to PACS

BoneMRI for Cervical Spine

Patients with indications such as radiculopathy, suffering from orthopaedic conditions, often get an MRI exam to assess the status of soft tissue structures like spinal cord, nerve roots and intervertebral discs. BoneMRI adds 3D information on potential bone involvement, relating to disc displacement or degeneration, osteophyte formation and foraminal narrowing, in patients suspected of a herniated disc or foraminal stenosis.

BoneMRI for Lumbar Spine

In patients suspected for spine disorders, MRI is the first choice as a diagnostic spine imaging tool since it offers excellent soft tissue contrast enabling visualisation of compressed or damaged neural tissue, where CT is generally used in the diagnosis of structural changes. BoneMRI can be of added value for the further assessment of potential involvement of osseous tissues. In addition, BoneMRI can be used for surgical planning and navigation as it offers 3D visualisation of the osseous structures for accurate geometric assessment, which also allows adequate inventory management.

BoneMRI for Pelvic Region

BoneMRI for the pelvic region covers the hips and SI joints. Adding BoneMRI to the scan protocol has the advantage of depicting structural bone lesions and active inflammation simultaneously in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction, including arthritis patients. This is of added diagnostic value for spondyloarthritis of the sacroiliac joint. Moreover, it is of great added value to diagnose structural deformities of the hip joint, including femoroacetabular impingement.
