Diffusion-weighted MRI of the spinal cord in cervical spondylotic myelopathy after instrumented fusion
Abstract
This study investigated tissue diffusion properties within the spinal cord of individuals treated for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) using post-decompression stabilization hardware. While previous research has indicated the potential of diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) markers of CSM, the metallic implants often used to stabilize the decompressed spine hamper conventional DW-MRI.
