title: MR appearance of gray and white matter at the cervicomedullary region.
abstract: To study the appearance of gray and white matter in the cervicomedullary region, six fresh cadavers were imaged with a 1.5-T MR scanner and then sectioned with a cryomicrotome. The pyramidal tracts, fasciculus cuneatus and gracilis, inferior olivary nuclei, supraspinal nuclei, spinal trigeminal nuclei, and medial lemnisci were identified by MR in the cervicomedullary region.
