Overview
MRI spine is diagnostic of spinal cord compression. FIndings include extradural spinal hematoma, abscess or tumor, disk rupture, spinal cord hemorrhage, contusion or edema.[1][2][3][4][5]
MRI Spine
- MRI is preferred diagnostic imaging for spinal cord compression.[1][2][3][4][5]
- Patients with positive history of any cancer presenting with low back pain should undergo MRI-enhanced imaging.
- Epidural abscess is best detected by MRI.
- FIndings include:
- Extradural spinal hematoma
- Abscess or tumor
- Disc rupture
- Spinal cord hemorrhage, contusion or edema.
- Disc extrusion at C5-C6 with compression of the spinal cord, that shows hyperintense signal alterations on T2.
