Analysis of the requirement of Neck MRI with movement & its findings

Completed

Brief Summary: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is the most severetype of cervical spondylosis and the most common cause of spinal corddysfunction among adults over 55 years old. The clinical syndrome of CSM occurs when the stenosisimpinges on the spinal cord, and the severity of CSM is generally thought to berelated to the amount of mechanical compression of the various spinal cordtracts .Dynamic MRI is done with flexion and extension positionof cervical spine, which mimicks the natural movements of cervical spinethereby identifying the pathologies more precisely[1, 6â€“11].Dynamic MRI (dMRI)is firstly described in 1980s, which is a modification of static MRI. It isstudied that changes of spinal stenosis that are possibly missed on the staticMRI , would be picked up on dMRI. Extension MRI might help to identify significant cervical canalstenosis that is partially or completely absent on neutral and flexion MRI.Flexion MRI permits better visualization of cord changes on T2-weightedimages.
