Abstract

Examination of the spinal cord by magnetic resonance imaging is discussed with respect to modern techniques and equipment. Care must be taken in protocol design to maximize resolution and signal strength while providing diagnostic contrast. Artifacts, including truncation, magnetic susceptibility, and those due to motion, may be present and strategies for their mitigation are discussed in this review.
