Abstract

AbstractOne of the most significant impacts of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been its ability to exquisitely depict normal and pathologic anatomy of the spine. This unit presents a basic protocol for conventional fast spin echo imaging of the spine. An alternate protocol is presented for gradient recalled echo acquisitions that may be used in the sagittal and/or transverse planes to clearly distinguish between discs and soft tissue and to clarify the spinal neural foramen in the cervical region. A second alternate protocol is presented for contrast enhanced MRI acquisitions.
