Multicenter Study Observational Study
A Diagnostic Biomarker for Cervical Myelopathy Based on Dynamic MRI.
Multicenter prospective observational study. ⋯ Significant increases in ADC values between the control and pathologic segments were found for both groups in neck extension only. This may serve as a diagnostic tool to identify early changes in the spinal cord related to myelopathy to indicate potentially reversible spinal cord injury and support the indication for surgery in select circumstances.
