Efilm Lite Probe tool (page 59: http://www.merge.com/RESOURCES/pdf//eFilmLite%20UserGuide.pdf) is used to determine signal intensity measurements in three axial cross sections: 14, 15, 17. Nerve root and surrounding tissue in k-space coordinates: (222,227), (286,219), (291,206), (298,224) have signal intensity 0.0 Hz.
I do not experience any paralysis, numbness, pain in with right, left arm, neck or into the hands and fingers.
Proximate cause of injury and inability to experience injury symptoms is being investigated.

If you’re suffering from back pain, and the pain medications, physical therapy, and injections aren’t working, then you should consider surgery. That may be a frightening thought, however with this new and innovative approach to treating back pain, you should never fear the thought of spine surgery again!
Using the worlds most advanced minimally invasive technique, Dr. Rothstein uses his Accurascope equipped with a tiny laser and camera, and by entering the spinal canal through the natural opening of the sacral hiatus, he is able to see in live, 3D color the redness and inflammation brought on by a herniated or bulging disc, and simultaneously vaporize the obstruction with his laser, thus immediately taking that pressure off the nerves, and producing immediate relief.

Jim Quast found his life in turmoil from back pain. He couldn’t sleep, couldn’t sit down for more than five minutes.
Then he underwent surgery at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Allen, where spine surgeon Richard Burg M.D. utlized a decompression procedure to eliminate a cyst pressing on one of Quast’s nerve.
The small procedure utilized a small incision and, as Quast noted, “I was in in the morning and home by 3 p.m. Here I am today, healed.”
Burg says other conditions to be looked at are some neck pain, numbness and tingling in the fingers, both hands, difficulty with the balance, where they start having issues walking in a straight line, or with
feet close together, and really concentrating — when people feel like they’re really unsteady on their feet.
“That’s a sign there’s pressure on spinal cord, rather than nerves,” Burg says. “If you have something like that, it’s important to get it looked at because you could have significant deterioration of all the motor and sensory functions as well as balance if things get worse when there is pressure on the spinal cord.”

OR-Live.com webcast February 22nd at 10:00 AM EST From Roosevelt Hospital, NY
Lower back pain is one of the leading causes of doctor’s visits and absences from work for health reasons, and will affect many Americans during their lives. In most cases, lower back pain is caused by a strain to a muscle or ligament that supports the lumbar spine, and can be relieved through rest, stretching and/or strengthening exercises or medication.
If conservative treatment has failed, and you still have severe pain 2 to 3 months after diagnosis of a herniated lumbar disc pressing on a spinal nerve, you may benefit from minimally invasive spine surgery, and the METRx Micro Endoscopic Discectomy procedure could be the solution for you.
On February 22, 2008, at 10am EST, Dr. Noel Perin, an internationally known neurosurgeon at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City who specializes in disorders of the spine, will perform a METRx Micro Endoscopic Discectomy to treat a herniated lumbar spinal disc, which can cause severe lower pack pain. The METRx Micro Endoscopic Discectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that can provide relief of this severe back pain with minimum surgical trauma, and a quick return to normal activities.
