Summary

This study looked at 120 adults with neck or lower back spine issues to compare two types of scans: contrast-enhanced MRI and FDG-PET/CT. Researchers checked how clear the images were and whether the scans caused any short-term changes in kidney function or blood counts. The goal was to help doctors choose the best imaging method for spinal problems.
