Abstract

Imaging of cervical spine trauma most commonly begins with computed tomography (CT) for initial osseous and basic soft tissue evaluation, followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for complementary evaluation of the neural structures (i.e., spinal cord, nerves) and soft tissues (i.e., ligaments). Although CT and conventional MRI sequences have been the mainstay of trauma imaging for decades, there have been significant advances in CT processing, imaging sequences and techniques made possible by hardware and software development, and artificial intelligence. These advancements may provide advantages in increasing sensitivity for detection of pathology as well as in decreasing imaging and interpretation time. Unquestionably, the most important role of imaging is to provide information to help direct patient care, including diagnosis, next steps in treatment plan, and prognosis. As such, there has been a growing body of research investigating the clinical relevance of imaging findings to clinical outcomes in the setting of spinal cord injury. This article will focus on these recent advances in imaging of cervical spinal trauma.

颈椎创伤成像:最新技术和临床意义。
颈椎创伤成像最常见的方法是首先使用计算机断层扫描(CT)对骨质和基本软组织进行初步评估,然后使用磁共振成像(MRI)对神经结构(如脊髓、神经)和软组织(如韧带)进行补充评估。尽管几十年来 CT 和传统 MRI 序列一直是创伤成像的主流,但随着硬件和软件的发展以及人工智能的应用,CT 处理、成像序列和技术也取得了长足的进步。这些进步可以提高病理检测的灵敏度,缩短成像和判读时间。毫无疑问,成像技术最重要的作用是提供信息,帮助指导病人护理,包括诊断、下一步治疗计划和预后。因此,越来越多的研究都在调查成像结果与脊髓损伤临床结果的临床相关性。本文将重点介绍颈椎创伤成像的最新进展。

期刊介绍: Clinical Spine Surgery is the ideal journal for the busy practicing spine surgeon or trainee, as it is the only journal necessary to keep up to date with new clinical research and surgical techniques. Readers get to watch leaders in the field debate controversial topics in a new controversies section, and gain access to evidence-based reviews of important pathologies in the systematic reviews section. The journal features a surgical technique complete with a video, and a tips and tricks section that allows surgeons to review the important steps prior to a complex procedure. Clinical Spine Surgery provides readers with primary research studies, specifically level 1, 2 and 3 studies, ensuring that articles that may actually change a surgeon’s practice will be read and published. Each issue includes a brief article that will help a surgeon better understand the business of healthcare, as well as an article that will help a surgeon understand how to interpret increasingly complex research methodology. Clinical Spine Surgery is your single source for up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations for spine care.
