Abstract
Noninvasive Imaging of Spinal Cord Blood Supply
Highlights
For the reader searching for a thorough summary of recent investigations and results of noninvasive imaging of the vascular supply to the spinal cord, the publication of the PhD thesis of Dr Robbert J
Dr Nijenhuis and colleagues approached the task of imaging the spinal vasculature by first characterizing the level and appearance of the “Adamkiewicz artery” (AKA) on dynamic contrast-enhanced (CE) MR angiography (MRA) of the thoracolumbar spine before thoracoscopic microdiskectomy (Chapter 2)
Dr Nijenhuis’ work focused on optimization and documentation of the vascular signal intensity from spinal arteries in patients scheduled for elective thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair: Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 6 (MRA of the AKA and anterior radiculomedullary vein: postmortem validation), and Chapter 8 (MRA and neuromonitoring to assess spinal cord blood supply in TAAA)
Summary
For the reader searching for a thorough summary of recent investigations and results of noninvasive imaging of the vascular supply to the spinal cord (in control and disease populations), the publication of the PhD thesis of Dr Robbert J. Dr Nijenhuis and colleagues approached the task of imaging the spinal vasculature by first characterizing the level and appearance of the “Adamkiewicz artery” (AKA) on dynamic contrast-enhanced (CE) MR angiography (MRA) of the thoracolumbar spine before thoracoscopic microdiskectomy (Chapter 2).
