    Notes: Summary In a prospective study of 63 surgical patients cervical myelography was compared with MRI to establish the relative value of the 2 diagnostic procedures in patient selection for surgery of ruptured cervical discs and bony nerve root compression. While MRI in the T1-weighted and gradient echo modes matched the diagnostic accuracy of invasive myelography (95%), T1 and T2-weighted MRI images alone were associated with an error rate of 10%. In patients with medial protrusion myelography did not always show the true extent of compression, whereas MRI tended to miss small laterally protruding disc fragments. Cervical myelography continues to have a place in the diagnosis of cervical disc disease, whenever clinical signs and symptoms do not agree with MRI data.

    Combined use of spin-echo and gradient-echo MR-imaging in cervical disk disease (1991)
    Springer
    Neuroradiology 33 (1991), S. 422-426

    ISSN: 1432-1920
    Keywords: Cervical disk ; MR studies ; Myelography

    Notes: Summary In a prospective study we compared the diagnostic value of combined gradient-echo (GE) and spinecho (SE) MR imaging with cervical myelography in 30 patients with clinical signs and symptoms of cervical radiculopathy and/or myelopathy due to disk disease. Only patients who subsequently underwent surgery (anterior interbody approach) were included. By means of MRI the clinically relevant segment was identified in all cases, by means of myelography in all but two patients. Using both spin-echo (SE) and gradient-echo (GE) techniques it was possible to differentiate between bone tissue and disk material by MR in all but one. It is concluded that MRI-especially gradient-echo imgaging is a viable alternative to cervical myelography and can be considered as an initial diagnostic procedure for suspected cervical disk disease.
