In order to evaluate diagnostic value of MRI of cervical spine, 439 patients who were examined by MRI were reviewed.
In cases such as disease of the craniocervical junction, intraspinal neoplasm, tumor of the spine, syringomyelia, herniation of cervical disk, and spinal sepsis, MRI was superior or equal to other imaging methods such as plane X-P, tomography, myelography and CT scan.
On the other hand, MRI was inferior to other imaging methods in case of cervical spondylosis and O. P. L. L.
