Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a sudden, life-altering event. Injury severity and accompanying
recovery vary considerably from individual to individual. The most important determinant of …

Purpose: To prospectively evaluate whether quantitative and qualitative magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging assessments after spinal cord injury (SCI) correlate with patient …

Animal models are widely used for studying the pathophysiology as well as treatment
strategies for injuries of the central nervous system. However, it is still unclear in how far the …

Contusive spinal cord injury (SCI) produces large fluid-, debris-and inflammatory cell-filled
cystic cavities that lack structure to support significant axonal regeneration. The recent …

This 1000-page book contains over 1700 illustrations, is presented in two volumes and
subdivided into 23 chapters. After brief chapters of Introduction and General Anatomy, a …

OBJECT Previous studies that have evaluated the prognostic value of abnormal changes in
signals on T2-weighted MRI scans of an injured spinal cord have focused on the …

Intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) after a traumatic injury has been associated with poor
neurological outcomes. Although IPH may result from the initial mechanical trauma, the …

The acute traumatic central cord syndrome (ATCCS) is commonly stated to result from an
injury which affects primarily the center of the spinal cord and is frequently hemorrhagic. To …

Study Design. A prospective clinical study using magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical
spine in a consecutive series of patients with cervical spine dislocations. Objectives. To …

PURPOSE: To determine whether magnetic resonance (MR) imaging quantification of
cervical spinal cord damage improves the prediction of motor recovery after spinal cord …
