Patients can be scanned in a multitude of positions. These positions include: standing, sitting flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending; as well as recumbent positions used in conventional "lie-down" MRI scanning. Scanning can be in upright weight-bearing positions and in patient's positions of symptoms, providing crucial diagnostic information that is impossible to obtain on a conventional MRI.
