  • Title: Magnetic resonance imaging of the craniocervical junction.
    Author: Lufkin R, Vinuela F, Bentson JR, Dion JE.
    Journal: Comput Med Imaging Graph; 1988; 12(5):281-92. PubMed ID: 3179983.
    Abstract:
    Magnetic resonance imaging has become the study of choice for the majority of abnormalities of the craniocervical junction as well as for demonstration of primary pathology of the spinal cord, and brain stem. Although the applications of MR are currently limited by its high cost, relatively long scan time, and low sensitivity to calcification, new pulse sequences, faster scan strategies, and lower cost MR scanner are changing this situation. MR contrast agents and the use of 3-D imaging techniques combined with gradient echoes promise to play a role in MR of the craniocervical junction in the near future.
