神经根型颈椎病MRI检查方法探讨

【目的】研究神经根型颈椎病的MRI成像方法。【方法】临床综合确诊的神经根型颈椎病60例，常规矢状面及横断面像检查完后加做双侧颈椎斜矢状面T2WI。评价颈椎斜矢状面像的诊断价值。【结果】21例（35％）颈椎斜矢状面像能提供更多的有用诊断信息。【结论】部分神经根型颈椎病除行常规矢状面与横断面成像外，应加做斜矢状面像。

Study on MR Imaging of Cervical Radiculopathy

[Objective]To study the MR imaging of cervical radiculopathy. [Methods] MR imaging was taken in 60 patients with cervical radieulopathy proven clinically. All MR studies included oblique images of both sides as well as routine axial and sagittal images. All imaging studies were evaluated for topography and intensity of the vertebrae and of the neural structures in the spinal canal and foramen. [Results]The oblique view added important information not available on the sagittal images or clarified changes seen on the axial ima ges in twenty-one of 60 patients （35%）. [Conclusion] The additional oblique view should be taken in some cervical radiculopathy besides routine axial and sagittal images.
