Cervical fast spin echo three-dimensional magnetic resonance myelography.
A technique of fast spin echo three-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) myelography with flow compensation was developed for the evaluation of the cervical spinal lesions. The whole spinal cord and roots in the spinal canal can be visualized non-invasively on voxel images by the maximum intensity projection process to achieve the best static contrast of the cerebrospinal fluid. This method of MR myelography is applicable as a screening test for the patients with cervical spinal lesions.
