Kinematic Cervical Spine MRI in Low-Impact Trauma Assessment - Review and Application in Clinical Practice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Kinematic magnetic resonance imaging can be implemented as a non-invasive adjunct examination for injuries in the cervical spine in the clinical assessment of ligamentous, disk, and soft tissue injuries, as a basis for determining medical versus surgical management, and also establishing the degree of functional clinical impairment. This article discusses the clinical indications and application of kinematic cervical spine MRI method in the diagnosis and management of cervical spine injuries. The spectrum and grading classification of cervical spine injuries using kinematic MRI is also discussed.

متن کاملKinematic Magnetic Resonance Imaging Assessment of the Degenerative Cervical Spine: Changes after Anterior Decompression and Cage Fusion
Study Design A prospective cohort study. Objective Decompression and fusion of cervical vertebrae is a combined procedure that has a high success rate in relieving radicular symptoms and stabilizing or improving cervical myelopathy. However, fusion may lead to increased motion of the adjacent vertebrae and cervical deformity. Both have been postulated to lead to adjacent segment pathology (ASP)...

Introduction: Degenerative changes of the cervical spine are more common in elderly, but anterior cervical osteophytes that cause problems in swallowing are rare. The most common cause of this problem is DISH disease (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis). Trauma is also suggested as a potential cause in osteophyte formation. Case Report: We report a rare case of anterior cervical osteop...
