MR imaging is a valuable imaging tool in the assessment of spinal arthritides, allowing the radiologist to formulate a rational differential diagnosis and construct a meaningful radiologic report. Of this,…
Radiologists play a key role in identifying, characterizing, sampling, and, in some cases, treating abnormalities of the spinal bone marrow. This article discusses the composition and dynamic nature of the…
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) can significantly improve radiologists’ workflow, improving efficiency and diagnostic accuracy. Current AI applications within spine imaging are approved to accelerate image acquisition time, improve…
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves responsible for the motor and sensory innervation of the upper extremity and upper chest. Pathologies affecting this structure can lead to significant…
Intramedullary spinal cord tumors are rare neoplasms that can result in significant patient morbidity and mortality. Symptom onset is often insidious and not specific; thus, imaging is imperative for accurate…
This article brings to light the importance of MR imaging not only as a tool for the diagnosis of spine and spinal cord infections but also for identifying potential complications…
Myelopathy refers to spinal cord involvement from diverse etiologies resulting in neurologic symptoms. The presentation is variable, often posing a diagnostic challenge due to overlapping clinical and imaging features. Classification…
Spinal vascular lesions are an uncommon but important etiology for myelopathy. A high index of suspicion and appropriate protocol development are critical to correctly diagnose and direct management of these…
This article examines the MR imaging features of the most common autoimmune inflammatory and demyelinating myelopathies, which encompass disorders characterized by inflammation and subsequent damage to the myelin sheath within…
Traumatic spinal injuries are common and carry a high risk for severe morbidity and mortality. While computed tomography remains the primary screening imaging method for acute spinal trauma, MR imaging…
