Description

Eighty three patients with the spine and spinal cord disorders were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The results were as follows:<br>1) At present time, myelography and CT myelography have some advantages over MRI in a mode of representation of disorders on the spine and spinal cord.<br>2) But MRI was excellent in the detection of intraspinal cord lesions such as syringomyelia and hematomyelia, and lesions at craniocervical junction.<br>3) MRI can be used routinely for clinical screening evaluation, from its noninvasive and simple property.<br>In conclusion, MRI can be accepted as a beneficial diagnostic device and reevaluation must be done on various methods of imaging including MRI.
