[Diagnosis of syringomyelia by using the method of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)]

On the basis of own observation from many years and a literature survey the authors discuss the diagnostic difficulties in syringomyelia in the light of the images obtained by conventional radiological techniques. The introduction of CT extended greatly the effectiveness of syringomyelia diagnosis. However, the best results in the diagnosis of the pathological lesions in syringomyelia are obtained using the technique of nuclear magnetic resonance.
