Real-time neuroaxial inflammation in lumbar pain through PET-MRI: Looking at the future

Ernesto Delgado Cidranes

A case study was performed by evaluating 23 patients using PET-MRI by implication of neuro inflation in patients with poor response to usual treatments. PET-MRI was performed on all patients. According to the diagnosis of uptake, the therapeutic behaviour to be followed was defined, as well as the comparison with the final result and degree of satisfaction and decrease of the inflammatory focus for the control of persistent chronic pain. The results were satisfactory and definitive in all of the patients and we concluded that PET-MRI in real time is a powerful tool for the resolution of complex patients with chronic pain.
