Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Magnetic Resonance Neurography is a ground-breaking new development in medical imaging. Invented by Dr. Aaron Filler, MR Neurography employs standard MRI machines outfitted with patented "pulse sequences," allowing physicians and surgeons to "see" nerves inside the human body - something that was impossible only a few years before. As Dr. Aaron Filler, MD, PhD explains, the power of MR Neurography means better and more accurate medical scans for issues affecting the nerves and spine -- resulting in more accurate diagnoses and treatments for patients suffering from spine and nerve pain.
