경추 MRI검사에서 경사 시상면 촬영의 의의 : 임상소견 및 근전도 검사소견과의 비교 = The Significance of Oblique Sagittal Images in Cervical MRI Study - Comparison to Clinical Findings and EMG Results

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

MRI is the most valuable imaging study in evaluation of spines. But conventional 2 dimension MR evaluation with axial and sagittal images of cervical neural foramen is limited by section thickeness, signal-to-noise problems, CSF flow artifacts and oblique direction of neural foramina. We added oblique sagittal images in the cervical MRI study of 32 patients and compared the MRI findings to clinical symptoms and the EMG results.
The results were as follows.
1.The neck pain had correlations with the MRI findings as central disc protrusion and maximal cord compression (p<0.05).
2.The radiating pain had significant correlations with the MRI findings of foraminal narrowings on oblique sagittal images(p<0.01).
3.The radiculopathy on the EMG study had significant correlations with the MRI findings of foraminal narrowing on oblique sagittal images.
