  • Title: [MR imaging of the cervical spine using special coils].
    Author: Petsch R, Heller H, Braitinger S, Dörnemann H.
    Journal: Digitale Bilddiagn; 1985 Dec; 5(4):173-80. PubMed ID: 4075702.
    Abstract:
    The signal/noise ratio of MR images can be improved for organs near the surface by means of special coils. It is shown for neck imaging that a close-fitting saddle-shaped coil is more suitable for application between C 2 and Th 1, than a saddle coil for the entire head or a disc-shaped coil. Such a close-fitting saddle-shaped coil is an essential prerequisite for effective neuroradiological diagnoses of the spinal cord with nerve roots, of the spinal column, and of the vessels of the neck.
