摘要: Preliminary experience with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spinal cord and canal in 17 patients indicates considerable promise diagnosis neoplastic, degenerative, congenital lesions. The ability to image directly rather than indirectly as myelography, absence bone artifact computed tomography, multiplanar capabilities indicate that MRI will be procedure choice examination cord. Current limitations include partial-volume effects due slice thickness inability perform contiguous sections when using techniques. relative increase signal from cerebrospinal fluid long TR TE sequences spin-echo may result less sensitivity brain for detection edema and/or infarction.
