MRI was highly accurate in the imaging of vertebral body fracture, and spondylitic changes, and is the method of choice for imaging ligament injury, traumatic disc protrusion and spinal cord compression. It was also useful for the identification of subtle subluxations in the sagittal plane. CT remains the method of choice for imaging neural arch fractures. MRI at 0.3T is a valid technique for assessing patients with acute spinal trauma. | Gov't Doc #: | 1445100 | URI: | http://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/9625 | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1445100 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Acute Disease Adolescent Adult Aged Child Dislocations.diagnosis.radiography Edema.diagnosis.radiography Female Humans Ligaments.injuries.pathology.radiography Magnetic Resonance Imaging.methods Male Middle Aged Retrospective Studies Spinal Cord Compression.diagnosis.radiography Spinal Cord Injuries.diagnosis.radiography Spinal Fractures.diagnosis.radiography Spinal Injuries.diagnosis.radiography Spinal Osteophytosis.diagnosis.radiography Tomography, X-Ray Computed.methods |
