A Doctor's Alternative to PPACA ::
The following was written prior to enactment of PPACA by the United States Congress.

Diagnostic Tools and Imaging Methods in Intervertebral Disk Degeneration :: This article reviews new and evolving MRI disk-imaging techniques, including grading, relaxation-time measurements, diffusion, and contrast perfusion. In addition, high-resolution magic-angle spinning methods to correlate in vitro disk degeneration (with pain, etc) and in vivo spectroscopic results are discussed. With the potential for morphologic and biochemical characterization of the intervertebral disk, MRI shows promise as a tool to quantitatively assess disk health.
