Quantification of spinal cord compression using T1 mapping in patients with cervical spinal canal stenosis – Preliminary experience [PDF]
Background: Degenerative changes of the cervical spinal column are the most common cause of spinal cord lesions in the elderly. Conventional clinical, electrophysiological and radiological diagnostics of spinal cord compression are often inconsistent ...

Physical characteristics of patients with developmental cervical spinal canal stenosis [PDF]
There has been only one report on the physical characteristics of patients with developmental cervical spinal canal stenosis. The objective of this consecutive clinical study was to identify the physical characteristics of patients with developmental cervical spinal canal stenosis. The subjects were 243 patients with cervical spine disease who received

T1 Mapping Quantifies Spinal Cord Compression in Patients With Various Degrees of Cervical Spinal Canal Stenosis [PDF]
Age-related degeneration of the cervical spinal column is the most common cause of spinal cord lesions. T1 mapping has been shown to indicate the grade and site of spinal cord compression in low grade spinal canal stenosis (SCS).

Cervical spinal canal stenosis: the differences between stenosis at the lower cervical and multiple segment levels [PDF]
The lower cervical segments are commonly the level responsible for cervical spondylotic myelopathy; however, we rarely encounter stenosis at the upper cervical segment in a clinical setting. We assumed that there might be some differences between the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying the development of cervical canal stenosis at different segments. We

Assessment of spinal cord motion as a new diagnostic MRI-parameter in cervical spinal canal stenosis: study protocol on a prospective longitudinal trial [PDF]
Background Increased spinal cord motion has been proven to be a relevant finding within spinal canal stenosis disclosed by phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI). Adapted PC-MRI is a suitable and reliable method within the well deliberated setting.

Dynamic compliance of the CSF system in iNPH (Part I) - in vitro investigation of the impact of spinal canal stenoses [PDF]
Spinal canal stenosis is an age-related degenerative condition observed mainly in the cervical and lumbar regions. Recent research has suggested that such stenoses influence cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus ...
