Application of the T1w/T2w mapping technique for spinal cord assessment in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy
Retrospective case-control study. To investigate signal changes on T1w/T2w signal intensity ratio maps within cervical cord in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). Novosibirsk Neurosurgery Center, Russia. A total of 261 patients with DCM and 42 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were evaluated using the T1w/T2w mapping method and spinal cord automatic morphometry. The T1w/T2w signal intensity ratio, which reflects white matter integrity, and the spinal cord cross-sectional area (CSA) were calculated and compared between the patients and the controls. In patients with DCM, the correlations between these parameters and neurological scores were also evaluated. The regional T1w/T2w ratio values from the cervical spinal cord at the level of maximal compression in patients with DCM were significantly lower than those in healthy controls (p < 0.001), as were the regional CSA values (p < 0.001). There was a positive correlation between the regional values of the T1w/T2w ratio and the values of the CSA at the level of maximal spinal cord compression. T1w/T2w mapping revealed that spinal cord tissue damage exists at the level of maximal compression in patients with DCM in association with spinal cord atrophy according to automatic morphometry. These changes were correlated with each other.
期刊介绍:
Spinal Cord is a specialised, international journal that has been publishing spinal cord related manuscripts since 1963. It appears monthly, online and in print, and accepts contributions on spinal cord anatomy, physiology, management of injury and disease, and the quality of life and life circumstances of people with a spinal cord injury. Spinal Cord is multi-disciplinary and publishes contributions across the entire spectrum of research ranging from basic science to applied clinical research. It focuses on high quality original research, systematic reviews and narrative reviews.
Spinal Cord''s sister journal Spinal Cord Series and Cases: Clinical Management in Spinal Cord Disorders publishes high quality case reports, small case series, pilot and retrospective studies perspectives, Pulse survey articles, Point-couterpoint articles, correspondences and book reviews. It specialises in material that addresses all aspects of life for persons with spinal cord injuries or disorders. For more information, please see the aims and scope of Spinal Cord Series and Cases.
