Abstract:Study design:
Prospective case-control study.
Objectives
We investigated the use of the magnetization transfer saturation (MTsat) technique to assess the structural integrity of the spinal cord tracts in individuals with clinically significant degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) and associated disability.
Setting:
Novosibirsk Neurosurgery Center, Russia.
Methods
A total of 53 individuals diagnosed with DCM and 41 patients with cervical radiculopathy underwent high-resolution MRI of the cervical spinal c… Show more
