Washington Open MRI has a weight-bearing MRI machine. Patient can sit or stand and you can get flexion/extension too. Which is VERY important to check clivo-axial measurements. Most problems fix themselves in a supine position and like you said, when the patient is upright, things move.
Thanks for making your Cervical lecture public. I have had a 51 year mystery dianosis for chronic headaches. Retired Vet. I have no physical neurological symptoms but my head pain is 24/7 365. Onr mylopathy C3/4. Yore video helps me to know what to ask. Had c4 -5, 5-6 fusion in 2007. No help. Still trying to learn even at 77. Thanks.
Great video Dr. Antoniades. I am an NP who just started working for 2 neurosurgeons covering mainly spine patients. This is very helpful to learn MRI. I plan on going through all of your other videos. Thank you for sharing and helping others learn. -Joe
Dr Spiro Antoniades Your teachings are really great. I follow them all, I m greatly benefited from your videos and I m imparting them in my teachings in medical school and my practice. Thanks a lot Dr Ganesh Kumar Reddy M
Hello Doctor. I just totally enjoy your videos. I'm just a patient that has suffered years. You have help me understand why. I feel I'm a very Unique Patient well I feel I am lol dont we all. How do you pick mri to study? I feel you could do a whole Seminar on my neck lol
Very interesting... I joined you again today. I’m getting my education everyday vs once a month though. Lol.... I’m telling you, I’ll be a surgeon by the end of the year!! Lol
Thank you doctor. You offer something valuable to the public. You've taken the mystery out of reading MRIs. I was misdiagnosed for 8 years with CSM. Apparently no one in Milwaukee knew what CSM is. I was diagnosed in 2014 with CSM and I looked at my MRIs using the skills you taught and I see it in 2010, I see written MRI reports that are similar in 2005. Could you have spotted it in 2010? At any rate you can have my MRIs as a case study in a misdiagnosis with years of imaging to go with it. I have both cervical and lumbar MRIs for you if you want them.
Dr. Antoniades: Thank you, great lecture. I watched entire show.Question: CAn one see nerves on MRI? I want to read my own, and am specifically looking for nerves at C3 & C4 that feed into phrenic nerve. what color on MRI? gray? can they be viewed at all on it?
Yes,balance,door knobs,falling,typing,,vertigo,cant feel IV stciks,,took 4 to get IV at CAT scan and I did not know when the needle went in ,,legs and feet same,,feels like spinal injury
thank you. you say I can see the C3 and C4 nerve root. what do they look like? a black space or what? I ask bc mine ere ut and not the diaphragm isn't working so my left lung won't fully expand.
I really enjoyed your lecture and it was very kind of you to make it public. My only disappointment was that most of the time (but not all of the time) we could not actually see what you were pointing at, for the mouse arrow just stayed still even though you and/or your fellow was clearly pointing at something. I don't know if you were also using a laser pointer or what the problem was, but this was frustrating.
ThePunkin59 I'm very sorry about that issue. The problem is that I use powerpoint for the presentation and snagit for the recording and posting to the internet and there is no way to make them work together for some reason. So I have to point mechanically with a laser pointer to the group and do it on the computer for the youtube audience. Sometimes I have someone point the laser pointer to the audience and I point on the computer for youtube.
Hello my name is jason im 35 i have been having terrible pain in the back of my head and neck and also causes headaches when severe.

+Shelagh Smith You can see the C3C4 nerve roots in the spine, but I don't think you can see the phrenic nerve in the soft tissues of the neck.
I wish you were my spine surgeon...thank you for another great video ;)
Excellent lecture.
Thank you.

I'm very sorry but I do not give medical advice over the internet.
Any opinion on what specialist i should see a neurologist or a neuro surgeon ?
hi Jason I hope by now you have answers
I have similar to what you describe and suffer with occipital neuralgia
Take care
great job on surgeries tho!
Thanks. I think lack of lordosis probably does accelerate degeneration. idealspine.com looks very interesting.
