Magnetic resonance imaging in the spinal column and craniovertebral junction.
The sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to tissue alterations is particularly useful in spinal cord imaging. In addition to excellent anatomic display of this compact and complex area, syrinx cavities, tumors, and degenerating disks can be identified before they cause the anatomic distortion often necessary for detection by conventional means.
