Abstract
The present paper deals with the results of 48 MR examinations of known spinal abnormalities. The use of a method strictly related to the individual problem helps to reduce the duration of the examination. Sagittal cuts are particularly useful for demonstrating much of the spinal canal. The spin-echo method is used for all examinations. Demonstration of the cord was performed by using short repetition and echo times (TR, TE). For showing the outer margin of the spinal canal, longer TR and TE should be selected. Surface coils are important for demonstrating spinal disease, since the larger images can be performed without increasing the duration of the examination.Keywords
