Abstract

The spinal cord comprises the part of the central nervous system located within the vertebral canal, extending from the foramen magnum to approximately the second lumbar vertebra. The spinal cord is covered by 3 meninges: dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater (arranged from the outermost layer inward). A cross-section of the spinal cord reveals gray and white matter. Ascending and descending pathways have defined locations in the matter of the spinal cord. This article aims to review the spinal cord anatomy and demonstrate the imaging aspects, which are essential for the interpretation and understanding of spinal cord injuries.

脊髓解剖与影像学研究综述

脊髓包括位于椎管内的中枢神经系统的一部分，该部分从大孔延伸到大约第二腰椎。脊髓由3个脑膜覆盖：硬脑膜、蛛网膜和软脑膜（从最外层向内排列）。脊髓横截面显示灰质和白质。上行和下行通路在脊髓物质中有明确的位置。本文旨在回顾脊髓解剖，并展示影像学方面的内容，这对解释和理解脊髓损伤至关重要。
