Summary

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is recommended for diagnosing cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy. While Computed Tomography Myelography (CTM) aids in diagnosing foraminal encroachment, MRI offers a comprehensive view for suspected nerve root compression.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Neurology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Cervical myelo- and radiculopathy present diagnostic challenges.
  • Conventional myelography, CTM, and MRI are imaging modalities used for diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the diagnostic capabilities of conventional myelography, CTM, and MRI for cervical myelo- and radiculopathy.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of different MRI sequences in diagnosing these conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-five patients with clinical suspicion of cervical myelo- or radiculopathy were studied.
  • Conventional myelography, CTM, and MRI (T1w and T2w TSE sequences) were performed.
  • Statistical analysis using Wilcoxon's -test was employed.

Main Results:

  • Both CTM and MRI effectively depicted disc herniation.
  • T2w MRI showed a greater extent of herniation compared to T1w MRI (p <0.001).
  • CTM was superior for diagnosing foraminal encroachment; MRI showed limitations in differentiating soft tissue from bony compression.

Conclusions:

  • MRI is proposed as the primary imaging modality for suspected cervical radiculo- and myelopathy.
  • Despite limitations in bony vs. soft tissue differentiation, MRI's comprehensive assessment is advantageous.
