Introduction: Spinal trauma is relatively more common in young active individuals. Although
its mortality is low, it is an important cause of long term disability. Magnetic resonance …

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) imposes a heavy burden on patients and health
systems. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a detailed evaluation of the spinal …

Study Design: Systematic review. Objective: To perform a systematic review to evaluate the
utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI) …

Introduction: The objective of this guideline is to outline the role of magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) in clinical decision making and outcome prediction in patients with traumatic …

Study design: Data are from a multicenter, randomized, double blind clinical trial of acute
spinal cord injury. Objectives: To evaluate the prognostic value of magnetic resonance …

Aims and objectives: To evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a non-
invasive diagnostic tool in patients with acute and chronic spinal trauma and to compare and …

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 …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the gold standard for imaging neurological
tissues including the spinal cord. The use of MRI for imaging in the acute management of …
