Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to compare axial multiple-echo recombined gradient echo (MERGE) with axial T2-weighted fast spin-echo (FSE) imaging for the detection of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions in the cervical spinal cord on MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-nine cervical spine MRI s...
