Ensuring accurate diagnosis : The Patient must have accurate clinical diagnosis (including but not limited to MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging- and physical neurological exam) as the symptoms of disk hernia can also be caused by other reasons. Patients are advised not to accept a diagnosis based solely on findings from an MRI scan or other radiographic test.

Need for Patient’s MRI : These are required in order that exact location of herniated disk is determined and marked prior to ARTCURE® DP application.

Controlling Improvement : MRI taken before and after ARTCURE® DP application are essential for comparison and thus verification of improvement. MRI also reveals the level of disk herniation.
