A recent study in the journal最近的一份研究报告，在杂志上 Surgical Neurology 神经外科 recommended that MRI’s be done while the patient is in the position that causes symptoms .  This is helpful advice.  MRI’s are usually done while the patient is lying down.  Lying down takes stress off the spine and changes the positions of spinal structures, sometime making things look normal when there’s really a problem.建议MRI检查的工作要做，而病人是在立场，即症状的原因 ，这是有用的意见。 MRI检查的通常做的同时，病人躺下。躺下需强调，小康脊柱和变化的立场脊髓结构，某个决策的东西，看看正常时，有真的是一个问题。

The authors of this study cite an example of a woman with complaints of pain in her neck and down her right arm, as well as numbness and tingling in some of her fingers.  These symptoms occurred when she turned her head to the right or leaned her head back.  She had tried anti-inflammatory medication, muscle relaxants, opiates, and physical therapy, all without benefit.作者这项研究的举一个例子，一名女子的投诉，疼痛在她的颈部和她的右臂，以及麻木和刺痛在她的一些手指。这些症状发生时，她把她的头的权利或倾斜，她头回，她曾试图抗炎药物，肌肉松弛剂，麻醉性药物，物理治疗，所有没有受惠。

When she had an MRI sitting up, she had no symptoms and the MRI was normal.  However, when she had another MRI with her head back and turned to the right – the positions that caused her symptoms – the MRI showed a disc bulge in her neck.  She went on to have an epidural injection, which relieved her pain, and she was able to continue to work.当她的MRI坐起来，她没有症状和MRI表现是正常的。然而，当她的MRI与另一名女子头部回，并转的权利-的立场，导致她的症状-磁共振成像显示椎间盘凸出在她的颈部，她接着就有一硬膜外注射，缓解她的疼痛，和她能够继续工作。

So this is information worth remembering!因此，这是值得记住的信息！
