Medical Imaging Research

KEY FINDING: The study found that a screw entry at the center of the lateral mass, below its junction with the posterior arch, allowed straight screws of lengths 20 mm and 19.5 mm in Emirati males and females, respectively.

KEY FINDING: A dominant right vertebral artery was found to originate from the right internal carotid artery in a 76-year-old female.

KEY FINDING: The modified CE angle (MCE) exhibited high sensitivity and specificity, comparable to the standard CE angle, for children under and over four years old.

KEY FINDING: A 55-year-old man with a stable L1 burst fracture developed delayed neurological deficits two weeks after sustaining a fall, despite no evidence of intrinsic or extrinsic spinal cord abnormalities on MRI.

KEY FINDING: Trauma can be a significant factor in the development of OS DAVFs. Both cases presented involved patients with a history of head trauma prior to the development of the fistula.

KEY FINDING: qMT PSR measurements reflect the myelination status of the white matter tissue. The riluzole treatment group indicated significantly higher PSR values in white matter voxels at the epicenter of injury compared to the HBC vehicle treatment group.

KEY FINDING: The fingerprint enhancement (FP-E) algorithm effectively detects and characterizes undergrowth collagen fibers in spinal cord injury samples.

KEY FINDING: The degree of cord compression was remarkably increased in both groups with cervical ranging from flexion to extension.

KEY FINDING: NIRS can detect vascular changes in the spine and periphery after spinal cord injury, evolving during recovery.

KEY FINDING: Cervical cord reperfusion injury is a rare cause of neurological decline after spinal cord decompression surgeries.
