Electromyography (EMG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are commonly used in the diagnosis of cervical and lumbosacral radiculopathy, but the agreement between the two studies is unknown. We retrospectively studied 47 patients with a clinical history compatible with either cervical or lumbosacra

Lumbosacral roots could be tested either by means of magnetic coil stimulation\* or electrically using needle electrode inserted to the laminar level.' We studied 15 normal subjects and 20 patients with lumbosacral root disorders to compare these stimulation techniques. The magnetic stimulator with
We prospectively studied the diagnostic utility of upper limb segmental reflexes in patients with suspected cervical radiculopathy (CR). Fifty-three patients (29 men and 24 women), referred for electrodiagnostic testing, were positive for at least one of four clinical criteria for CR: abnormal (1) h
## Abstract An assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of thermography in arterial disease of the lower limb is reported. By comparing the arteriographic and thermographic appearances of 52 patients, three independent observers had overall agreement of interpretation in approximately 50 per cent of c
