There are multiple diverse pathologies that can present as myelopathy. The preferred method for imaging the spinal cord depends on clinical history, the specific anatomical site of interest, and any patient-related issues that may limit certain imaging modalities. This article focuses on the key role of imaging in diagnosing myelopathy, discussing physiological considerations, different imaging techniques, and various disease entities.
Multiple diverse pathologies result in the clinical presentation of myelopathy. The preferred way to image the spinal cord depends on clinical history, anatomic site of interest, and patient issues limiting certain imaging modalities. This radiology-focused article discusses pertinent physiological considerations, reviews basic and newer imaging techniques, and examines several distinct disease entities in order to highlight the key role of imaging in the work-up of myelopathy.
