متن کاملACR Appropriateness Criteria(®) myelopathy.
Myelopathy is a problem that requires imaging to distinguish among numerous specifically treatable causes. The first priority is to determine mechanical stability after trauma. Next, it is crucial to distinguish intrinsic disease from extrinsic compression-for example, by epidural abscess. Osteophytes or disc extrusions and metastatic compression are the most common causes of extrinsic lesions....
