Abstract:
Objective To study the values of MR whole spine imaging with TIM(Total Imaging Matrix) technique in diagnosing spine and spinal cord diseases.Methods Eighty-five patients who were suspected having spine diseases underwent whole spine MR.High resolution MR is performed when a local lesion was found on a Avanto 1.5T MR system(Siemens Company) by using different TIM in coils combination with automatic moving table and no-gap composing techniques.Results All 75 cases can be obtained clear images of total spine and spinal cord.In the all of 75 cases whole spine MR,the results show that normal in 15 cases,vertebral diseases in 41 cases,and spinal cord diseases in 19 cases.Conclusion The MR whole spine imaging with total imaging matrix has shorter scanning time and better image quality,position and nature of high accuracy,resolved the controversy of imaging covering and resolution.It can be improved the accuracy in diagnosing spine and spinal cord diseases.
