  • Title: The MR appearance of gray and white matter in the cervical spinal cord.
    Author: Czervionke LF, Daniels DL, Ho PS, Yu SW, Pech P, Strandt JA, Williams AL, Haughton VM.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1988; 9(3):557-62. PubMed ID: 3132831.
    Abstract:
    Artifacts that can distort the appearance of the cervical spinal cord are caused by data truncation during MR image reconstruction. We used a phantom and then correlated anatomic sections with MR images in cadavers and normal volunteers to evaluate the effect of truncation artifacts on the MR appearance of the spinal cord. When truncation artifacts are minimized, the gray matter and major white-matter columns in the cervical cord can be recognized. T2-weighted gradient-echo MR techniques can best differentiate gray from white matter.
