The thoracic spinal cords of five mongrel dogs were imaged with a 1.5 T MR scanner before
and after trauma induced by a well-established method of spinal cord impaction that …

A weight-drop model was used to induce 16 acute lesions of varying severity in the spinal
cords of eight mongrel dogs. The subsequent 3-to 7-hr postinjury MR images (0.5 T) were …

Until the development of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging there was no nondestructive
technique for monitoring the pathologic response to acute spinal cord trauma. The …

Thirty-seven magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies were performed with a 1.5-T magnet
and surface coils in 27 patients with suspected spinal cord injuries. Imaging was performed …

Magnetic resonance imaging of acute spinal cord injury is described. The traumatized cord
segment was clearly shown as a hyperintensity in a T2-weighted image whereas it …

Abstract THE ABILITY OF magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to display the anatomic
changes after spinal cord injury in the rat were examined in postmortem specimens. With the …

Forty-three magnetic resonance studies were performed on 28 patients with suspected
spinal cord injury using a 1.5 Tesla magnet and surface coils. Imaging was performed …

Fifty patients with spinal injury above L2 were studied with MRI; forty-two had initial and
followup studies permitting correlation of MRI abnormalities with neurologic improvement …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has proven to be an invaluable tool for evaluating
neoplastic, congenital, and degenerative conditions of the spine and spinal cord. Because of …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used widely in the diagnosis of acute spinal
cord injuries. The association between MRI findings and histologic changes, however …
