We studied 39 cases which were operated for lumber canal stenosis. Retrospectively, it was very important to know the degree of canal stenosis of the lumber spine in extension to determine whether to include the moderate stenosis site in the operated area.
The dynamic study of myelography was useful, but it was harmful in some aspects such as drug toxity and irradiation. We found that it was possible to obtain the same information as the dynamic study from the lateral view of the MR myelography of the lumber spine in extension.
